I would say it is a K3 that has had a accident to the front end and then, a K1 front end put on. Would like to see more pictures of the bike to confirm.

Half k3 and the rest...gold dust !
I like the sound of that..
Last of the unicorns..very rare..and sought after..
yes mate its a unicorn special
Im starting to believe my own bs.. :)

but see i did think ,right this old bike has been in a smash and the front ends been changed..so if that was the case the steering lock would not have the same lock number...which it has, the same as ignition and seat..i really have a feeling that this is original to the bike..tho its been out before..the frames been stove enamelled sometime in the past..but im sure you all know best
thanks lads i'll get some pics up soon,ta,Frank

Could be the original bottom yoke (as they are very hard to bend) or as I did the other day, take the steering lock from one bottom yoke and but it in another  ;)
Don't ask me how I know all these things  ;D ;D

Yes that will be it.
bottom yoke is original  matching the frames enamel 
Top yoke has original paint badly painted over
so .. a crash after a rebuild then hurriedly fixed up..
might also explain the odd(k1 again)top right hm300 pipe

Don't forget to use the correct spacers or you could kill your unicorn!

I have no notion what spacers you are referring to...but i did notice a thick washer in the slot of each of the pinch clamps..did think ..what the hell are they thinking of ?...
No no we must preserve the Unicorn !
Tell us more...please/thank you

The washers in the unicorn are called D washers. They stop you over doing the pinch bolts, without these you may crack the top yoke.

Yes the spacers or 'D' washers are there to stop over
 tightening the clamps and cracking the unicorn.
Just keep them with the yoke if you sell it on.
