|  1973 AK4 Unmolested original
Picked up this real nice US 1973 AK4. Original paint, few small chips on tank. Overall a nice bike that has been looked after and not had the crap pounded out of it. What do you think? tmas      |

It seems to be a US spec frame, as there are no reflectors on the forks. Looks good.

Nice. I think the kick stand is worth replacing though. But then it couldn't be all original. If it was mine I'd have a hard time deciding.

That's a sweet bike, tmas. I've yet to find one in that condition. I always find the ones that haven't been maintained in the last 30 years. Nice find! /dayj1 |

It was just hard to get seller to let go of it. lots of looking. Your kickstand worked well on my 1972 mini trail. tmas | |

Nice Bike!! Excellent find! Worth keeping original. There only original once! That is my favorite gas tank decal on the 1974. Plain,simple,classic.

Very nice... some of you guys must have some big collections of old Honda's in the search for that never riden original, I love seeing how good some of these old bikes are that you guys find and save from some young kid thrashing them. |
