Looks good Bitsa, you might have to put it in the lounge for more space then and get some big speakers for the telly if you start it up.

Fantastic... took me 12 months to make the same progress. Had always preferred 'my' Ruby Red... but gotta admit now having second thoughts... it looks just great.

Thanks all for your comments some of the chrome guards etc could be replaced but I can do that at leisure when I find some bargains

Don't go throwing a wobbly Bitsa I can't seem to find the spare heat shield but I did find some new rubber whatsits that go behind the reflectors that I ordered by mistake.

Update
Well front master and caliper now done and all works a treat but those frackin forks don't look right or feel right and now I know why.Thanks to fellow members giving me measurements etc they are 20mm short.The bike front end is noticeably lower yet there is 341 stamped on the sliders but these tubes hell knows what they are.Even with oil in they are softer than my quilt on the bed so they are going in the skip and has anyone got a pair for sale?Was these for cafe racer low front end etc I have no idea does any on else?
Cheers

The K0 came with a silver caliper. What is the travel like on those folks? Maybe just the wrong springs Bitsa.

If you remember I found valve springs on top off the normal springs they are defiantly the wrong forks see my other one.The boots are more squashed and they hardly move down.The speedo cable looks too long but I know its not so bin they are going.I would just buy new tubes but the internals are not the same as standard and if I could get the standard internals I would do so but not available anymore.

Bitsa - I think I may have a spare set of forks. They were on the k0 that I've now started restoring but are from a k4 onwards I think, so the lowers are the later style. Haven't checked the stanchions but happy to send the whole lot to you for the cost of postage, as you and Graham have both helped me out recently. I'll try and pull them off the lower tripe tomorrow and get you some pics mate. James
