Honda CB750K5 Restoration by Royhall

Thanks Simon. Yep post some pictures. Could do with one that's immediately serviceable as it's pretty hard to get them redone with the black cotton braiding. I have had them made up before but in stainless braiding. If the pipes are good I can always polish up the ends. Thanks.

Steve / Roy… apologies as could not post these pics on PMs - so everyone has to suffer.
Anyhoo; Roy, it’s a while since they’ve seen the light of day, and nope, they’re not black braiding but high pressure black hose. Which is fairly cracked in places - hence me renewing ‘em some time ago.
Anyways, have a look, and depending upon what Trigger has to offer get back to me.
Cheers,
Simon

Wrt the Braided cotton finish on the oil pipes, I sheathed a clear breather hose on my old Kombi in heat-shrink braiding - and am pleased with the results. (Obviously you’d want to modify the ends a bit better!)
As I rebuild the K2 I may try this on my SS Braided pipes - if it looks / becomes shabby it’ll simply be a case of cutting it away. Worth a try?

Philpotts did a great job on my fork top nuts, they were really chewed up. I sent them in with the fork top tubes and rear axle. Great thread, enjoying reading it, good luck.

I’m away from home right now, but if interested will post pics.
Price, if interested, upon receipt the postage costs + give me what you’d have sold them to me for…
Let me know,
Simon

Thanks for that Simon but I now have a good used set in the black braid. Good of you to go to the trouble of posting some pictures. Cheers.
