Tank refinish progressing well
Tank stopped back to metal & filled all the dints and dings
levelled off and fine filled then treated with redoxide spray
flatted off and sprayed with spray putty to remove any imperfections marks etc
Flatted off and red oxide again & flatted off and primed in grey awaiting spray to attempt the Candy Antares Red finish "That will be fun,but sure I will get there"
No comments on this one the spacer was just the right height for what was required even if it looks a bit !!!!
Paint on order, so in a couple of weeks hopefully I should have a nice red tank again.
UK Pete:
Great work on the tank prep

Seat Base looks rusty and grotty so another strip back to see whats below.
Started today and found the base is very good, just caught it in time before it started to go too far
Cleaned of the brushed paint and rust back to metal I will treat with kill rust and spray back up.
End result should look good before I recover the seat.
Underside before treating
Underside next to foam treated with kill rust and painted with hammerite
Keith Jnr has suggested that we put gel inserts into the foam while we are recovering- Any comments?
Personally I never had an issue with the seats before.
Cheers

Great progress Keith.
I personally wouldn't bother with gel inserts I can ride my K1 all day its like sitting in an armchair compared to most modern bikes.

Rear Seat cowl
The three bolts other side that fasten the trim are rusted solid - Failed to get them out without cutting them off, so I will work around them for now.
The trim fixings that go through the seat crumbled as they were removed - looks like I will have to either source some or make some new ones
Progress
Metal Seat under foam complete
Rear cowl flatted back and primed
The side of the seat you see when its opened up will be my next target today to apply finish coats and lacquer- then when new cover arrives hopefully a completed task
