White House K10 - a story of regeneration

[Ninemeister_imp]

Thank you for that. I've used their oil filter a couple of times and it's been fine.

When I bought the CB, the dealer Motorcycle Giant did a pre-delivery service and used a HiFlo oil filter. I'm good with that and have bought another for the oil change service in the spring.


So the other job I decided to have a go at was a mock-up for a replacement grab rail. As arrived the K10 was fitted with a chrome rail on top of the alloy grabs (see photo on page 1 with white tank). Closer inspection showed that the two rear mounts had been cut off aid rail, rendering it pretty useless.

So tonight I removed the alloy castings & indicators to offer up the rail with a view to welding on new brackets. My idea is to maintain the horizontal design feature of the CB750 and have the forward section of the chrome rail parallel with the bottom edge of the tank. Luckily I had a bit of 25mm x 3mm stainless plate in my scrap bin, so in less than an hour I had removed the White House drop brackets, fashioned a couple of new rear mounts and screwed them on to sit under the rail (prior to welding).

What do we think?

Of course, the next job will be to make brackets for the rear indicators which I plan to make in steel, paint black and sit between the rear rail brackets and the frame mount (similar to CB750K0 part 33607-292-000B).
