Honda CB750K5 Restoration by Royhall

<< < (43/82) > >>

Oddjob:
Roy is that a spare points cover on the engine? You mentioned it was really bad but the chromer did a good job of mending it and tbh it looks ok in the pic of all the chrome parts but in the engine pic you can clearly see all the denting etc and the chrome looks faded, like it’s really old. Is it the same cover?

royhall:
No it's not the same cover, like I said it's one I got off eBay for £3 for construction use so it didn't matter if I damaged it whilst the engine was on it's side. It really is pretty badly damaged, too much to be used on a finished bike. The real one is the first picture below. Just a few more pictures to go with the above text.

If anybody can spot from the photo's anything that has been done wrongly or not quite right please feel free to say so. Would be appreciated, thanks.

Hi Roy, the only thing I see that I don’t think is right is the large washer between frame and rear shock top mounts?

philward:
Thats looking really good Roy!

Lobo:
Beautiful Roy - another Honda saved.

Before the rear frame area gets filled in, did you remember to grind away powder coat in the frame - engine area to guarantee a good battery earth? I didn’t 🤦‍♂️! (but then used the forward LH engine mount which tbh makes me happier as easier to keep an eye on / electrically clean)

Your rear sprocket studs appear to be shorter than mine (K2) in that the studs are shy of using the full nut threads. Is this normal for the K5?

Jealous of your chroming - I should have done a bit more, but like you was becoming very wary of the ‘where does it all end’ dilemma.
