Great thread, it's good to get started on the rebuild bit too. Good luck.

Top yoke is coming on at the moment.  I've ground away the lugs from the top and cut off the handlebar mounts and started to grind flat.

Pretty much gone

Just need to drill out the holes, weld them up and then level out and most probably get it powder coated black

On a side note I have a rhino horn yoke that I'm not going to need if anyone is interested?  I'll whack some pics up in the for sale section later today.

Also been working on rebuilding the set of K1 forks I have here.  The fork lowers are coming up nice after a bit of work - still not finished but getting there.

The forks I got from DK had longer stanchions in them than normal (pic below)

As the plating is in good nick on the stanchions themselves does anyone know if its feasible to cut them down and rethread internally, save forking out for a new set of K1 stanchions?

I have to admit though I'm in two minds whether to go down the modern front and rear end route or keep it period

The GSXR/CBR front hubs by Cognito Moto although pricey might be a route I go down at a later point but think I'm going to push on with the standard forks and swinger for now

I also had an old KTM 690 swing arm kicking about the garage that I bought ages ago for a possible project in the future and mocked this up on the CB750 frame itself while I was deluging - I'm not sure myself (ignore the state of the workbench)

Blimey that's a big bugger.
It will make the bike another foot longer.

burchy75:
About 10mm (give or take) longer compared to the K1 swinger.  I've always liked the look of the KTM swing arms with the diamond castings.  Think it's going back on the shelf for now  :)
