Colour of bikes / years etc
« on: November 21, 2014, 09:51:05 AM »
I have been looking all around the usual places to find some sort of 750 which needs loving care and attention and which has not been used to a garage with carpet to sit on so i can please the wife and sit in said garage restoring something over the winter months, so i have been offered a 750 FB from 1982, not my first choice but i cant find anything else to play with, where can i find definitive information on such things as colours of paint, wheels etc from?

I would like to at least restore something back to what it was when it left the factory, or as close to.

Failing that anybody got something which would make an interesting project because that have to many other bikes to play with (here's hoping).

Hi Big Alan, James has a nice K5 project bike for sale in the for sale section,

might be what your looking for and better than what you have been offered so far ( just my opinion  ;)) cheers Mick.

As a preference I would like to buy a complete bike as it is, then I get to strip it down and photograph everything as I go both for the end description plus I get to know what every bit is.
