Cheers Andrew, £3500  :o, if only money was no object! I'm going to have to settle for silvers or cmsnl, even those prices are making my eyes water!   ;D

Cheers Tim, it looks great in the flesh, photos seem to change the tone a bit. Dream Machine, Long Eaton painted it. Done a good job .  ;)

After a year long wait for a set of HM300 pipes this K1 is now  almost finished, just a few finishing touches needed. Much to my surprise and delight It fired up straight away, and all seems good, it sounds terrific, much throatier than my old K2.  Just need to register it with DVLA now and get it on the road.

A lovely job Mick, my K1 came in Candy Blue Green, but when the paint had to be redone I went for Candy Ruby Red after much heart searching. Having had both, the red (done by Menno) was splendid but the blue is a more interesting colour, there's something a bit Japanese about it.

Now go and cut that cable tie holding the clutch cable to the frame tube.

Haha! It's a reusable tie I put on temporarily, I don't want to cut it I'll replace it with an ordinary one. I also need to connect the carb drain tubes up before anyone mentions them!  :)
