Not for the faint hearted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have had a few parts from him. Anyone ever bought a complete or 'project' bike from him ? Think his name is Will Dawkins.

I bought a cb550k1 from him a few years back. Bike was ok (ish).  For me this is an outrageous price for what's being offered....clearly chancing his arm..

There seems to be him and DK selling imports on Ebay any experiences/comparisons of the two?

I bought my K0 from will, probably paid way to much for it but i had the choice not to so can't complain,  both will and dk spares provide a great service, dk spares used to be really expensive before ebay, but they have come down in price with the competetiveness of the internet, as for the sancast, it is only frame and engine with all the other extemely hard to find parts missing, definetely for the brave probably more suited to someone with a hoard of spares for one, at 5k it certainly ain't a bargin or even reasonable but it will no doubt sell and make someone very happy, if i were flush i would probably be the mug to buy it LOL
