Why is there such variation with regard to the angles of handlebars on the 70's? I have a 72 HK1 and its bars are pretty straight and even with my shoulders while my 71 KO has bars that bend in and the grips are closer together. I have seen these closer together bars/grips in a lot of photos (same as my KO 71) but the photos in my owners manual show the bars more spread apart like my HK1. What is the deal with that? Were the bars bent? Can they be modified? Should they be?
Was there a difference in the performance of the HK1 (4 speed Manual) and the KO 3 speed auto? It seems like the HK1 has more power, a slightly larger seat and an apparant better ability to hold two riders. Is this a fact or just major differences in the condition/performance of my bikes. Did Honda have two riders in mind with the HK models or am I just trippin'? Is it just the difference between the gear ratios and manual vs. auto?
Also, what compression level should the bike be at when it is time to rebuild?
Has anyone heard of Enzo Motors or had any feedback on their services?
Thank you for your help for the new guy!
