Anyone see this UK K0 on Ebay

<< < (3/6) > >>

UK Pete:
I think this guy selling the KO thinks he has got the bike equivelent of the Mona lisa, personally i think it is a crock of shite, i quite agree Ash the cost of restoration would be very high, also that bike needs all the important hard to get parts replaced so it is really over priced

AshimotoK0:
I suppose it really depends whats in the NOS parts bags and what the motor is like But you are always in for about 550 paint, 700 pipes, even a rolled K0 front fender is now about 200, 150 powder coat, airbox repro 75, rims/respoke 200+, tyres 130, Ducktailseat with metal base 300 - rechrome rear guard (if its not shot) 90. So  thats almost 2100 GBP without even touching the motor!! Clocks look pretty good though - particularly the red line on the tacho -those pair  alone are probably worth 500+  Have a look at the toolkit parts and it has a 'double hole' at one end wrench - now that is RARE

I was surprised that more people did not  bid on the K0 that DK had before Christmas, OK it had a K1 motor but little finishing touches on it indicated IMHO that it was a pretty spot on restoration by whoever DK got it from.

UK Pete:
Hi ASH Where would you get pipes for

AshimotoK0:
I got them from Dave Silver end 2008, just when VAT went down - they were 525 + 40 for the heatshields plus VAT but they have probably gone up since then.

Sounds like you may be getting the bug Pete - but be VERY careful - it's a life changing obsession!

Spitfire:
Having rebuilt my F1 and knowing how much that cost I don't think I would touch another "restoration project" unless it was going for peanuts !
Here's a sample of just the DSS reciepts for the F1.


Cheers
