If they have glass/metal uppers they will be K1 - if plastic uppers they will be K0.

Hi Frank1e
Not wanting to be a Vulture here but i have just finished a K0 and have a fault with my Rev counter.
If by chance you change yours to the correct ones may i have first dibs at buying the rev counter you have if you want to sell it.
Look forward to seeing the pictures.

Thanks for your replies . I will keep you in mind if decide to sell.Yes tops are metal.but i dont know what a unicorn type yoke is...im wondering now that the whole front end maybe k1...that may have been why that k3 front guard didnt fit that i had to send back last week..

K1 clocks - the unicorn yoke is what you have (the yoke has the horn type centre used upto K2). The fork lowers are different upto and including K2 - which is why your guard diddn't fit

Top of the class for Phil today. The unicorn with the clocks and all the fittings are worth a bit more than 99p  ;)

K3, K4 top yoke in picture

This is what you should have, Trigg will confirm i'm sure.

Your Unicorn is gold dust if it hasn't been welded. You will have no trouble selling that.

The K2 needs the unicorn - it's just the clock that are different - no idiot lights in the clock's. Keep the yoke and sell clock's & buy K2 clock's (if you can get them)

I thought it was a K2 Rich, if it's a k3 your right - best if it is a k3 as the clocks n yokes can be sold for a fortune and buy the cheaper k3 on yokes/clock's!
