Hi Ash
I am looking for a tank for my KO resto but unfortunately would need to re- spray in black. Have you decided on an asking price yet? Would you be willing to split and sell tank only?

Sounds like a good plan 👍

Really useful info. We used the same method with copper to seal cooling circuits on mould tools but peened them really hard to create a seal. Hope I can get the aluminium to seal a bit easier 😅

Thanks @Sesman. I was hoping to do that but how easy is it to re-seal. Is the plug just pressed and peened or is there a seal in front of it?

Does anyone know how to remove/ replace the blank plugs at the ends of the camshaft oil feed channel on a 500 K0? I want to vapour blast but not confident about cleaning after unless I remove these plugs

I’m sure this has been covered before but does anyone know the correct colour to paint the engine cases. I’m thinking of creokote for the barrel and head and 2 pack for the crankcases.

Thanks Bryan,
I will admit it was a great machine to start from and we've had a particularly crap Winter when being in the workshop was a good option and very few interruptions. I even refurbished the clocks which I had thought would be next Winters job.

Still have to fit the 069 carbs and airbox

Looks like the clock bracket needs a bit of straightening and bar clamps re-finishing sometime.

I would be really interested in a details of your Speedo/tachometer repairs. Any chance of a picture of the crimping tool you made?

Ashimoto
My engine number shows it was made before the gearbox mods so I definatly need to check this

The K0 needle roller seizing on the mainshaft issue was significant though ... my bearing was well and truly fooked and Graham (Trigger) once showed me a very low mileage K0 countershaft that had been fried by the needle bearing seizing. It's a double-bunched roller type and on mine the alloy carrier cage had disintegrated.
I’ll check mine when I split the cases. Are there any proprietary fixes for the K0 gearbox issues?

I think the switch problem is greatly overstated. Ran my K0 for 9 yrs (commuting to work in the dark all winter) before layup and I didn’t even know there was a problem until read it on here

Had a reply from Honda UK which said the information has to come from Japan and may take up to 6 weeks. I guess this is their std system so waiting with fingers crossed

Done a load of rides all over europe including the eastern block before the Berlin wall came down and all the way to India on silly small bikes like one of my CD250's. Took a Piaggio typhoon 50cc from Newport pagnell to Thessaloniki on a 3 day trip

Now that’s a proper adventure ride

These trips seem a bit tame today with reliable adventure bikes, Satnav, more money and the security of a mobile phone signal but back in the day you needed a proper sense of adventure to travel far.

I have emailed Honda UK (nothing to lose) and will let you know the outcome
