Hi Jock,

Sorry for delay in replying - had to venture into the darkess recesses of my loft to get mine out and measure it. Mine came from a brand new Honda K1 seat so should be the correct length.

540mm + 2 turnovers(folded over) of around 33 mm = 606 mm

Keen to see how your chroming turns out Jock.

cheers

Thanks Ash,

Bad news about front fender  to far gone to re-chrome and price for rest was not cheep, but hope it is worth it still waiting to find out how long it will take, and decide what to  do about front fender, so again wait and see. 

Cheers Jock.

If you want the double cut front fender (or single cut if it is late production K0) the best option is 'Eric' in Vietnam - I got mine from him unchromed but polished. Otherwise its around 1400USD from Yamiya.

From memory when you bought the bike it had a 341 style rear fender included. This will fit OK (I have one of these too as the UK K0 one is one of the rarest parts to find for the K0) but you will find the angle at which the tail-light bracket  sits will be slightly different to the correct '300' one.

Thanks again Ash,

Will check out links as soon as I get a chance, and I now realise strap that came with bike was in box with spare parts and I think it is for Hondamatic, how I got hat one I don't know, so will have to get right one.

Cheers Jock.
