Thought I'd add a few pics...
The bike when it arrived...
The concept is based on this...
Random...
My Yamaha XJR 1300 SP '99 in the background.
Almost every bolt is seized...
Before and after cleaning carbs...
Seized caliper, used a grease nipple and grease gun to get it out :-)
Rocker cover and breather off, can't see much wear here :-)
Head off, still looking good for 35yrs old.
I slipped a pic of my beast in !!
Fork strip down...
Before and after forks...
Yuk!!!
Powder coaters arent going to like this! :-(

Liked the `slipped one in` of the Beastie, I had one 10 years ago in reddish yellow cocktail. Amazing bike, a bit on the heavy side but when on full chat it sounded lovely!! Almost painted my K3 in that colour I liked it so much! Had to sell it, I wouldn`t have still been on this earth if I hadn`t :-[
Keep on with the cafe racer project, I`ve some rearsets and flat bars for sale on fleabay, finishes on sunday. I gave up on the idea, everyone told me that the K3 was too original to go and chop and change it!!
