Newbie from Leverington
« on: October 19, 2016, 10:44:14 AM »
Hi i'm Kevski, and from Leverington in the Wisbech area, i am currently without a bike but awaiting a 350 four, in the late 90's i had a 500 K3 pictures will come when i find them as i have just moved here from Rochester in Kent, my old K3 came up for sale on flea-bay earlier this year and i missed out on buying it back, so if anyone on here has it and would like to know more about it, i can fill them in as i was the first UK owner of the bike the reg number is RGN114P

Welcome to the forum, great site this, loads of help/advice on here.
Lived in the Medway towns for the first 21 years of my life .
Bought a 500/4 in 1973 from Grays of Chatham, and had a 550 k3 from Robin Powell in Faversham 1977ish.
Hope you find a bike soon.

Glad to have you onboard Kevski. I just finished restoring (about 6 months ago) a CB350F, hope this may give you a few pointers.   http://www.sohc.co.uk/index.php/topic,8257.0.html   Cheers and good luck with the new bike.

Welcome to the mad world of the SOHC. I moved up from Kent and now live on the edge of the Lincolnshire wolds, looks like everyone is leaving Kent ;D

Welcome from me too. I have never lived anywhere in or near Kent!
Roy's bike looks superb and is a credit to him, maybe something for you to aspire to.

Here it is, build date June 1972, 5032 miles still got a lot of the yellow ink marks on the bolts from assembly, tank top faded, chrome really good only downside is a burn hole on the back of the seat, no grab rail and carbs hemorrhaging petrol which i expected, for this bike it's a clean up and run as is with it's 44 year old patina.

Lovely looking bike !! What's the history? I saw that David Silver was importing one like that recently.
