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.

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 :-\

I'll have to decide soon because, as the forecast snow hasn't arrived I'm just about to set off for the paint shop! ::)

Coming along nicely and I'm enjoying keeping up with this thread - what's the timeline for completion?
There's a school of thought that promotes originality, but have to say that if my K1 was any other colour than Candy Ruby Red (or Gold) I'm pretty sure I would have chosen one of those colours despite the 'dilemma' losing some originality, lucky I didn't have to choose.
At the end of the day it's your bike, so any colour you wish.

Andrew,
I'm hoping to have it finished in time for Crich this year, I'm enjoying keeping up with your build as well, great job! I have dropped everything off now at the painters and have plumped for the Candy Blue Green, whatever the colour its going to be an improvement on the starting point!

Looking forward to seeing photos of the finished job and hope you've got it ready for Crich. My K1 will be, but I won't - I promised my wife I wouldn't jump straight onto my bikes and start riding on 2 July. Makes sense, I suppose.....

I quite like Valley Green, in my eyes a candy version of British Racing Green, and the colour of the first CB750 I saw in the flesh, but noone ever chooses Candy Poo Brown.
By the way when I rebuilt my CB750 K1 engine, I kicked and kicked, and even tried the starter in desperation but not one drop of oil did I see until I took advice from this board and primed the oil pump with half a tub of Vaseline!
