K2 tank porn

JamesH:
Well, had a bit of spare time this evening so thought I'd crack out the tank for the K2 I've just started preparing.

Bought this JDM spec set from Yamiya last year and this evening was the first time I've really looked closely at it.

All I can say is wow - have to take my hat off to the chaps at Yamiya. The quality of the paint is stunning. Will be a few weeks before I've completed the work on the K2 but will share the results when done.

For now, just fitted the fuel petcock, lower trims and cap latch. Some photos...I know this isn't going to be everyone's cuppa tea but I wanted to do something a little different to the normal Candy Gold / Blue options (not that there's anything wrong with those at all)...

JamesH:
Well the tank badges are new Honda K2 items, so essentially the same that would be fitted to a Gold, Blue or Orange tank. I think the silver just accentuates them. You should see this in the flesh though. Honestly the pictures don't really do it justice.

Always loved that Japanese spec silver on the CB750, wonder why they never did it for other countries. I hope it doesn't have the stupid red light in the horn James, that is one thing I am glad they only did in Japan.

It's going to look great James !   The other colour Scheme I liked was the Brighton Bike with the white stripe.Why did Honda never take it any further?
 
Also there is a lovely shade of green on some newish model cars. Wonder what the CB750 would look like in that colour  with white stripe.

I think the light for up-to speed is a great idea Trig. and I told the guy that at my 'Speed Awareness Course' at the end of last year  :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[. I trawled Yahoo.jp for a year to find the correct oval tacho/speedo with the pickup and output wires on it. Going to fit it to my JDM CB250Dream replica as it was fitted to some CB250/350K models.

Never done a speed awareness course Ash, I just look at the clock and that tells you the speed ;D ;D
Had one of those lights on a GSXR400 GK71B, bloody thing, took the bulb out in the end ;)
