Decided there wasn’t enough original paint left so I repainted with other paint option for that year model

The earlier versions with the painted fenders look really classy. Great find!

Thank you. I will be repainting the bike as it's totally roached with a brush. They kinda taped over the decals but the rest is junk. I'll put the fender on correctly.

I’m going up to look at a heavy Duti king size bike this weekend. The serial number begins with an H75, painted fenders and a flamboyant red color. It has the big headset and Frame but that number is a 1959 number. Anything I should be looking out for before purchasing?

Feel free to share photos here with the group before purchasing if the whole KS thing is important to you. As the first page of this thread mentions, King Sizes were built only from 1962-1965.

There are some late 1961 dated frames out there as well. There are a couple on the registry.
