The F2 Restoration

That looks really good Pete and seems like a possible runner this year.

You're right to do the frame onto the engine way round if you're by yourself, I've only ever done them upright with two people, lots of taped frame tubes and careful jiggling to avoid damage.

Found a road test of 750-F2 the other day in some old mags I've got, by Phil read with some good pics mainly of the red version. Also he states that the formula-1 racer based on that engine was giving about 10bhp up from stock at that time!

SteveD CB500K0:
Any chance of a copy of that article?

I collect these for his website.

I have the MCM mags (Motor Cycle Maniacs as we called it 'back in the day' with the original 750K0 (June '70) road test , Nov 74 The original road test of the K2 and 750/4 engine analysis and Feb 1970 with an article on Dick Emery and his 750k0. Also CB article on the K0 that Bob Heath bought from Honda UK, which Honda UK had stored for years. I can scan if you like Steve.

Also this the road test on 400/4 by 'Bike' magazine.

Sorry about the thread hijack...

Here's Phil riding a 400/4 on the Island in 1977:



I also have a copy of Superbike from 1978 when he raced a CBX1000 against Derek Bell in an Aston Martin Vantage:

Steve, I'll try and get a scan for you but don't have much in the way of kit to do it so it may take a while to get sorted.

Please remind me if I don't get it soon.
