The yanks never had the black one if the parts list is correct and it usually is.

p.73 denotes which markets had that colour: D, E, ED, F, G, H and U.

That number says it was BUILT May/June 1971 so it OUGHT to be a K0, That black one in the Pic is a K2 UK model

SORRY, damn dyslexic keyboard meant K1 as all UK models are K1

My UK k0 in black always been black... well I have the v5 from 77 and it's says black....
And I contacted the owner from then and he knew the bike from new....and it was black...

[Woodside]

Also ill add this bikes vin is only a handful of numbers from the one in this thread which in turn is only a handfull away from another uk k0 that i know off
This Cannot be a coincidence...
It's looking like a small batch did make it over ...

[Bryanj]

Woodside, there are certain things that make yours a K0, I have some of the gold side panel stickers that go under the badge if you want them

[Woodside]

Cheers Bryan....the other side still has the sticker on...
I think i have a set here
 when I done the gold one piki kindly sent me both colours
Thanks for the offer ill get in touch if I don't have them...or simply can't find em
