Restoration of UK CB750 K0 - one of the 36 UK ‘Transition’ K0’s
JamesH:
Restoration log for VRJ 460J..more details to follow...
JamesH:
So, I bought this bike literally in boxes ~4 years ago. She was purchased with two other early UK diecast 750’s (both Feb 1970 bikes) and all three had been dismantled and stuck in boxes.
All of the engines required a full rebuild and nothing else had been restored other than the frame / swingarms (which had been badly powder coated).
So, 4 years on and I’m finally getting to VRJ 460J.
She’s one of the elusive 36 transition K0’s (if you believe the figures) - so is pretty much all ‘K0’ but with later K1 carbs.
I’ll document the rebuild here as she progresses..
JamesH:
VIN number revealed prior to blasting off the horrible powder coat and getting the frame etch primed and 2-pack painted..
The frame is back from the painters and ready for assembly to start...
JamesH:
Swingarm treated to new bronze bushes, new ‘collar’ and all other frame parts have been stripped, primed, 2-packed.
JamesH:
Engine waiting patiently to be re-united with the frame.
