It’s home at last!
Oddjob:
I think the K3 kit used a 24mm eye wrench Johnny, different rear spindle nut.
AshimotoK0:
Nice project .. if that had been from DK the 1st thing they would have done was to nick the toolkit. I bought my CD125A from that guy .. negotiated a bit of discount and straightforward deal. Would be interesting to see who imported it on the NOVA Cert. Mine came from Paul Gaskin of Huggys Speedshop.
Orcade-Ian:
Clive Smither was the importer (name on NOVA cert) of the lovely 550F1 that I got from James. Not even sure that James had ever taken the tool kit out from the seat pod - it looked very much as though no one even knew it was there!

No, Johnny, the bag is not for sale!
When I shared the details of those DS bikes you posted Ash, everyone remarked how reasonably priced they were when compared with DK and they have had lots of bikes from there.

Great project to keep those long, cold and damp days at bay. Very nice spacious workshop as well, you need to fill it with more bikes and projects🙂
Seabeowner:
Does look all there, so hopefully not too much work to get it for a runabout for a season. After all bikes are for riding.
Another 550/500 so we have definitely seen off the 400s and even the 750s.
When I was first looking to get a 500 to restore about 22years ago I had trouble finding one. Imports have made them common.
I did get one tool kit out of the three bikes I bought from DK, but it was with the expensive K0 with the early double ring spanner.
