2 years on and another one saved.
Almost finished a few bits to tweak.
My original bike was DKL54K ,found this one on EBAY so had to get it .
Came out of the same dealer as mine on the same day 2nd May 1972.
She will be at Ardingly show tomorrow, I will be in the Abergavenny hall stall 32 if anyone wants a chat.

Superb Rich !

James .. see if you can spot the part(s) that came off the K5 you sold me...unrecognizable almost after Rich worked his magic on them.

Wish I could be there ! Even going to miss Newark as its on the same day as my big wedding anniversary ! Going to Stafford next month though.

Brilliantly done.but it seems your Abergavenny is in a different Abergavenny to the one down the road from me.Have a great time. And  the little Honda looks superb

Nice looking bike in the flesh. Great to see you guys as well and putting faces to names. And getting the exhaust to its rightful home!

Call me during the week James if you have any luck.

Alan

She certainly looks the part! Out of interest, has anyone ever wondered why our bikes are referred to as a "She"?
Truth is, they take too much of your time, and all your money, and still give you aggro when you really don't need it, enough said! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
