1978 K

Here's a few pics of the 750 K I got back in May. Since then I've done lots of maintenance, replaced both tyres, both sprockets and chain and the alternator cover. I'm now trying to decide whether to fit the original 4 into 4 exhaust or stick with this 4 into 1. Right now, she's running great. 14,000 miles on the clock. Might do a top end overhaul in the winter. I included a picture of how I dealt with the issue of the chain being the travel stop for the centre stand. Honda

Re: 1978 K

This is my problem: I grew up with these bikes and no exhaust pipes on the left side looks to me like someone with a tooth missing.

CRAZY.
