That's what folk look for nowadays.

Ready to just clean up a bit and ride maybe?

I painted the pinstripes on the tank for him ... what a pain in the ar$e that was. ::) He, along with Ben Powell on here, bought the pinstripes as decals for Â£65 from a guy in France and both ended up scrapping them as they wouldn't conform to the bulbous shape of the K3 & K4 tanks. I got him the silencers specially made to original Honda spec and everything has been rechromed apart from rims that were nice anyway.

I think if it was a nostalgia trip the spend might be hefty but the project very rewarding.

I make this comment having bought a 400 Superdream so a new owner might be a nutter like me.

I am always surprised when I see the stats on this site how many guests there are compared to members online, a testimony to the continued interest in old Hondas despite the current market.

I was stunned to see my 500 K1 project read over 90,000 times!

Acres of chrome on that bike and silencers, even though solid, will be corroded inside and would probably never rechrome (Â£400-600 to have rechromed anyway and downpipes around Â£150 to rechrome).
Ask my mate ... you could easily spend another Â£2k++ getting it to look lovely.

Anyone up for trying them out on a wet bendy road at 60 MPH. 🤕
