Hey Fellas,
Got this 1970 K0 from a friend earlier today at a very reasonable price. Going to use it as a project to do with my twin boys. They seemed pretty excited, so we'll see how things go. One of them wants to do all the research and the other all the work...it's not gonna happen that way, but it was cool to listen to the plan it out
It's pretty rough but the frame seems intact with no cracks but does have some internal rust. We're going to strip it down tomorrow and check all the bolt holes to make sure none of them are stripped out.
Loaded in the van...
No title came with the bike and not sure we'll try to register or title it, but I'll be pulling the vin tag before the respray.
Frame vin code
Unloaded...4 boxes of assorted stuff. 2 motors, one mostly complete, the other of questionable use. Both are 3 speeds I'm told. Neither is likely to be the original. Also came with new piston and rings, hosed head light buckets, and 2 engine guards and bunch of little stuff in rough shape,
Some of the box/bin contents...extra fork uppers, extra swing arm etc..
Couple of extra rusty rims and hubs
I'm still reading up on the some of the great project builds and see I have a lot to learn. Any suggestions or input is welcomed, know many of you have done multiple bikes and I would prefer not to make any bonehead mistakes if they can easily be avoided.
