1971 CB500K0 Resto 3/71 VIN 1000896
AshimotoK0:
Got my CB500/4 K0 paint set back from Menno today in Candy Jet Green .. Superb job ..certainly comes highly recommended from me as well as James. Price very competitive with my man in the UK .. in actual fact almost exactly the same and both do a superb job and both guys are great to deal with. Menno definitely has the edge on turnaround though.
Got a second tank/panel set I am going to have done in Gold as a 'second set of clothes' probably have it done back end of this year.
Now have most of the BZP parts back looking cool and both rims rechromed in Leeds (see separate post) . Got some NOS Genuine piston rings via eBay ... forum member too ! Want to keep the momentum up on this bike to get it finished ASAP. Not going to be any progress for a week though as I have a big work related job to do . BOO HOO :'( :'(
UK Pete:

Too many weekends away, plus stripping my CD125A to get it's parts in the resto queue has stalled a bit but determined to get this bike done this summer.
I restored the original drilled disc so I could do a swapsie with my mate in York for his disc from his ex- DK 3k miler 500K1 that he's going to sprint at the IOM. Both have got zero scoring so we are mutually happy with the deal.
He's also agreed to swap my new front guard stays for his but I need the rubber grommets and steel spacer washers (any condition as I can re-plate), if anyone has any to sell me to convert from 750 style to his 500 (see pic).

Ash, you looking to source the stay spacers / grommets to give to him. You won't need them on your K0 as it has the smaller 8mm holes?
Trigger:
I am a little confused about the stays :-\
750 and 500K0 are 8mm holes in the stays, no rubbers or spacers. Just a bolt and washer ;)
