if that was black it would be exactly the same as my first 500 back in 75, i had a dunstall system on it and my mum and dad could hear me coming home from a mile away!

Funny you said that, I’d like to do it in my favourite ‘70s trim, think JPS Norton.....
I was only discussing this the other day - didn’t racing vehicles look so much cooler when they had fag labels all over them?

The return cable has snapped on the bike so that answers that one.. the K1 tank just wrecked my plaid shirt with another leak so the K2 tank is going back on, will get migging on the K1 during the winter...

Massive shopping list this week, spent all my PayPal balance! Stripped the front down and found the legs are bent back about 1.5mm, stanchions rusty, headstock rumbling. I have to shout out to Dan at Legend Motorcycles on eBay for great comms, help and next day delivery.
New OEM coils, plug caps, brake lines, headstock bearings, fork seals, gaiters, throttle cables, caliper seals, sourced a used factory manual (brilliant), getting the rolling chassis sorted at the moment. K1 tank off for proper repair, 750 tank back on for now. General wipe down and degrease whilst it’s on the lift, lubed tacho/speedo cables etc etc
