Hi thanks for the replys the k1 wheels are galespeed , it is huc cafe racer frame/project only got it two weeks ago will be a while sourcing parts for it no engine as yet the slabby bike was going to be. Used been stood over 10 years after owner passed away I've had 5years always liked them since first saw one mid eighties didn't realise how good it was to cleared all the grime off it and got it running again so it keep it as is pity a couple of panels are damaged and brackets missing

Bloody good-looking frame the HUC cafe racer, very reminiscent of the old Norton Featherbed frames from the 50s/60s. Totally agree with you on the early oil-cooled gixxers, best ever looking sports bikes in my opinion.

Hmmm, you make a good point about the swing arm fella but you never know, it might be one of those things where you need to do a dry build before you can make a decision... it may look like the dogs do-das when the bike's off the bench and has a few more parts fitted. |

I had to chuck heaps of stuff away when I last moved house but if I trip over anything interesting, I'll let ya know. |
