--- Quote from: Oddjob on May 07, 2021, 07:06:34 PM ---It's weird how some people think. The tool kit is hidden in a section at the back of the seat, it was secured by Honda using 2 large wingnut type fittings. They've fitted 2 x 10mm nuts, so in the event you need to use the toolkit by the side of the road you can't because the tool you need to get to the toolkit is in the toolkit. Stupid.

Never noticed the handbook holder on the underside of the seat before, the 500 got it (but not the K0) and I'm wondering if that's been added.

Not far from me that bike, I'd love to buy it just so I could rip it to bits to fix all the little stuff I can see wrong on it. Tanks bloody rusty inside as well. Not a good sign.

I have seen this forsale before xmas. It had the correct speedo clock on it then  and no gators , which i thought you would of spotted Ken  ;)  You must look past the bling  ;D
You don't need a tool to access the tool compartment, just two wing nuts that can be undone by hand and yes, it has a owners handbook holder under the seat from the factory  :o

On the toolkit cover issue;  I had the same problem when I got mine, i.e. the cover was held in place with two 10mm nuts.  I just replaced them for a couple of wing nuts which I think is what Graham was suggesting.  I must admit though I didn't know the kit was there for a week or so after I bought the bike, I more or less found it by accident!   Mine did have the owners manual holder under the seat too.

It took me ages to work out where the toolkit was in those photos. Spotted it now!

Trigger:
I understand what you meant now Ken  ::) 10mm wing nuts will be too big on a M6 thread  ;)

fogrider:
Looks like no 3 exhaust is bluing up. Don't like that,  and are'nt they double skinned to avoid bluing - or is that a different bike I'm thinking of ?

Looks very nice though, surely going to go for more than £3500 ?

Terry.
