Hi,
Jock has PM'd me asking to get his new K0 project on the website.
The Photo's were quite large size files so I have put them on Photobucket.

Do you have the frame number Ash / Jock ?
AshimotoK0:
Over to you on frame number Jock. From what I remember of the Ebay listing it was later in 1970 ish.
My advice would be to strip down to the bare frame, have it blasted and see what the corrosion damage is.
And throw NOTHING away!!!
It looks pretty much standard to me? Does it have a 'wrinkle' tank? Mine is Oct '69 and does not although I am sure it is the tank it came to the UK with in Jan 70 and had the Alloy filler cap and early badges.
Guess you are going to need new shocks!! - Just got mine (Honda K0/K1 version) from Silvers for 250 quid. Ouch!!
Good look and we will help you as much as we can!
Seamus:
I can't help but admire someone who likes a challenge.
Before starting, check frame/engine numbers to see if it is correct for a K0. The head looks right as do the carbs. I hope the cases have not experienced the broken chain syndrome that was popular with early Hondas.
As Ash says, keep everything. Blast the frame and see what's left. Hopefully most of it. Start from there.
Good luck and keep us posted
Cheers
Seamus
Spitfire:
Now that looks like lots of days of fun, as others have said throw nothing away, keep all the bolts and get them replated, as far as I know you cannot get them anymore (figure 8 on head). Take lots of photos so that you can get cable runs, wiring runs etc the right way when putting it back together. And lots of Zip loc bags to keep parts together.
Have fun
Cheers
