Back to life...
TeeGee67:
After 10 months and more than £50 spent...
Originally a good-looking US K4 that turned out to be a hound. Not used for several years, big hole in the gearbox where the chain had broken, oil full of water and debris, holes in #2 and 3, gummed up carbs, etc etc. Most work done in the garage.
Carbs and cases aqua blasted.
Originally orange, but very sun-faded. My paint shop had a lot of trouble replicating the candy and, in the end it bubbled up under the decals. So, I decided on something completely different - a Bentley grey based on a lovely cafe racer I saw last year. Stripes are now painted and look superb.
I realise this will divide opinion, but at least now I do not have to answer to anyone who can spot the myriad details that are not quite right.
Either way, it attracts a lot of attention from men of a certain age... Great ride!
Let me know what you think.

What matters most is it's another SOHC going great guns and that you like your choices. Anyone else's opinion can be ignored.
As it happens, I think it looks great. :)
