thanks kp, for the heads up on the frame. i think i will buy it so i can at least start to get a proper rolling platform under way. probably find a whole k0 the day after i buy it... *sigh*
can someone tell me how correct this wheel would be for 1767?? ebay Item number: 251143423883
i have read on here about "double rolled" or "cold rolled" or something different but i can't remember where i saw it. i have the original hub laced to a 16" wheel. would i be wise to get this rim, have it rechromed (if needed), spokes re (zinced?? or chromed??) and lace it to my hub? am i better off getting a repop rim and spokes? your thoughts and advice are greatly appreciated.
if i get the platform roll-able it would be a huge thing. i spend half the day, in my micro-shop, with my elbow in my butt... the ability to open the frickin' garage door and roll a platform outside on a nice day is quite important. i had a kx250 fall off the stand and do about $300 worth of damage to one of my vn750's. unlike a hobbyist i don't have the luxury of a dedicated space for a project, not really. i don't have much for tools at my warehouse, i never work there.
i was thinking of a k2 i have for the front clip ie triple clamp and fork tubes. are the k0's the same as the 1767 would have? i do remember the forks changed in '71 or '72, if i remember right the early forks had different internals, different clips and stuff. i KNOW the k2's wll fit. but are they even semi-correct? i will research of course but also appreciate the comments. i don't always have the hours it takes to research, heck somedays i don't have time to comb my hair. two babies and a home based business keep me running all the time
cheers, john
