Light at the end of the tunnel

(1/4) > >>

I am so close to finishing the K1 I can almost taste it. I just hope that light at the end of the tunnel isn't a train coming.  :)

It runs although it pissed fuel everywhere because the fuel lines are so far gone (valuable lesson learnt), all the electrics now work and I managed to get hold of a re-chromed front mudguard for buttons (well, comparatively).

All it needs now is a rear mudguard, headlamp and rim (the one that's on is a concave Cibby thing with a dented rim), matching indicator lenses instead of the multi-coloured ones that are on, the rear brake assembly as it is away having three feet of powder-coating removed and a few other bits and bobs.
Most annoying thing is I need a set of seat blocks and a seat spring that pops it up. Any ideas? DS is the obvious but the blocks are special order and the spring is discontinued.

Oh, and I need to do something with the seat and sort a strap out and see if I can put some chrome strips on it.

hairygit:
That certainly is light at the end of the tunnel, so crack the throttles open and revel in the roar these old girls make in tunnels, before you reach the end. Great going, very nice! ;D

dieffe:
Thank you, I need all the encouragement I can get.  ;D

I forgot to put the rear view on, I still grin every time I see the reg number that is on the bike.
Also, am I right in thinking I don't need to tax it as it is a 1971 bike?

royhall:
That's turned into a nice bike, well done. You will still have to tax a 1971 bike in the normal way, you just don't have to pay anything. Keep going your nearly there.

Lobo:
Ensure its V5C status is changed to 'Historic', but as Roy says, you still have the naus of annual tax application...

Beautiful... btw...
