Early UK CB750 K0 restoration - why do one when you can do two [emoji2957]
Spitfire:
Absolutely gorgeous, just need to win the lotto now.
Cheers

Thanks for all the feedback and compliments - it really does mean a lot coming from members of the forum.
I just dropped the bike up to Andy, and she’ll be on display on the BSA owners club stand at the classic car and bike show this weekend. How ironic..
She looks rather stunning out in the sunshine.
Oddjob:
I presume they are US imports James due to the high bars?
Saying that I'd have thought trying to find UK bars almost impossible even if you wanted to fit them.
As usual, stunning job.
I'll also presume you'll sell them now? I can see the buyers sitting at a bike meet and claiming all that hard work was his own, yeah mate, polished those casings myself, by hand yeah, made my fingers bleed it did, yeah, also did the spray job, not bad for a rattle can is it, What's that mate, would I do yours for you, sorry mate, I'd love to but I said this would be my last restoration, missus complaining and all that. Sources for all those parts, oh dear is that the time I really must go, yeah I know I just got here but I'd sooner be riding the bike than talking about it, see ya.
Trigger:
Nice looking UK bikes James.
UK early 750's came with high bars and very easy to get low bars ;)

Jesus that made me laugh Ken - did you get out of bed on the 'cynical' side today ha ha?.
Both are UK delivered bikes - the first UK batch came with the higher bars actually.
In all honesty, I imagine they'll be sold fairly soon Ken. I keep saying I'll keep this one, must keep that one, but ultimately I don't have the resources or space to store these properly once restored, and I'd much rather someone had one of these bikes to enjoy rather than me hoarding loads of them in dark places lol.
But, they won't be cheap that's for sure, and I'm in a fortunate position where I don't need to sell them.
Ultimately, over time, I'll be selling the lot, and the only one that I intend to keep til the very last is Sandcast Number 820. I just need to find someone trustworthy to build the engine on that (now that Trigger has 'retired', selfish B@st@rd).
