Honda CB750K5 Restoration by Royhall
Laverda Dave:
Good progress Roy. That was some painful damage caused by the chain break.
JamesH:
Great progress Roy. Don’t be disheartened - I never underestimate the amount of time taken to properly strip and rebuild these engines. I’m a massive cheat in that respect and outsource my engine builds to someone with way more skill than me. I’d say 1/3-1/2 of the time taken on a proper restoration is taken up dealing with the engine - so you’re putting me to shame there
Keep the photos and progress updates coming - great news on the speed of the DVLA turnaround

Thanks to James for the V55/5 form that he pre-annotated with all the correct details. If anyone wants a copy of that just ask. I have checked all the numbers on the V5C and everything is correct first time out, including the change of engine number. She is now LFM 992N, and I have even remembered to declare it SORN as it's not insured yet.
I did a double take when I saw your reg number. I had my docs back at the start of the week for my american import K5, took a bit longer than yours mind, but I have the registration 986N. Small world eh!

Never realised there was so much copper pipe in a 750 K5 lump ;D
Stick with it, mines in a billion bits but once the cases come back you'll be flying. Not an easy one to take on and I take my hat off to you for attempoting it. Its really coming on, stick with it and befor eyou know it you'll be on the good but which is putting new bits together and matching them with the old stuff....................my favourite bit, at least you can see where you're going and more importantly where youve been.
Like you, Im guilty of not taking enough piccies but I will, like you, try a bit harder ;D
Keep at it Roy
Laverdaroo:
At least your rotor doesn’t look like this!
I think something was loose and managed to be dragged around the case. Hard to believe but how else would this happen?
