Whitehouse K17 mods...

The White House side panels seem to be made from pressed steel which is then hand finished prior to painting, likely with a fair coating of filler/primer given the feel of the panel.

Hand making a similar pair out of steel is not out of the question, then shaped using body filler to achieve the desired shape before taking taking moulds from the finished parts. From the moulds you can then make production panels in GRP or Carbon.

The corner brackets could be replicated to copy the mounting points of the original side panels.

Thanks, Nine. We replied at almost exactly the same time!

That's the big difference, I think. The Whitehouse parts are top quality, but you pay the price. The David Silver parts are quite acceptable and much, much cheaper - in the case of the sidepanels, about five times cheaper! The David Silver ones are replicas of the original CB750's, intended to replace originals in a rebuild. The Whitehouse ones are, as Ninemeister says, metal, are CB750 'Style' and intended solely for the CB1100. You pays yer money and takes yer choice!

But the BIG money saver will be the tank when it becomes available.

Who on here is interested in converting their CB1100 to a lookalike-CB750 K2 of the '70s??
