All it needs is a matching front!
(This paint scheme is a Type 9, btw. No. 8, but Type 9.)
Ciao,

No , its to nice for that .
If its lucky it might get a couple outings on the road this year .
I have a k4 600 with all the goodies on it for track dutys .
I would like a 400 of some sort as a road/track(daylight mot) bike which is the plan hence my wanted ads , hopefully have something sorted depending on funds .

Make sure you dodge those potholes hose mags wont last 5 mins with the state of the roads down here, I think the PVM's would look ace on that bike.

At the rate I'm going it probably still won't be on the road this year , ha
Managed to escape into the garage again for a couple of hours so I finished off fitting the Rick O rads and samco hoses .
The bottom rad looks trashed, fortunately its not it's just where the paint has flaked and it looks awful in thepoctures.
And just for refrance I compared the lower rad from Rick Oliver to my rlr/radtec one , there's quite a difference in the two
I know it doesn't look like it but the edge on the right is lined up on both rads

I said it was ready for tax and mot , but as ever I was bored one evening and ordered a few more bits for it from Japan , just had an email saying that they've been despatched which I'm exited about .
Been a little bored this afternoon so I was looking for things to do.
I started with this grotty old seat and decided to recover it with some alcantara I had
This is the finished result , I'll get some pictures of if fitted later on
