750 K1 project

Well, after a bit of a break, OK about 3 months :o where did that go? I have managed to replace the damaged oil tank hose, fill with oil and get it circulating up to the camshaft (although it's not squirting everywhere, more like flowing copiously) using the kickstart. I have now also collected replacement side panels, lamp holders and headlamp shell and will be taking them with the tank to the paint shop in the next week. Colour undecided as yet but do like the Candy Blue Green. Still loads to do and a few more parts to find but its getting more complete every day. :)

Coming along Mick.
I loved the Candy Blue Green but if you are staying original it's not a UK K1 color which is why I went the Red.
Trigger:
You will not get much oil pressure by using the kick start. When the engine is turning over at 1000 rpm without the rockers in place, the oil pressure pushes the jets out ;)

Love the red as well Paul, I keep changing my mind which way to go, mine is a US import and its original colour is Valley Green, which I also like :-\

Graham,
I think the only thing raised while using the kickstart was my blood pressure but I was relieved to see some oil make an appearance through the tappet covers! :)
