Lovely bike, exceptional condition, if I'd won the lottery I'd buy it but not unless I do win.

Kept looking at it to see if I could spot anything wrong and the only thing I can see that's not correct is the colour of the tool bag, they were black not blue, never seen a blue one. Could just be a trick of the light though.

Did you look at the colour of the tank & side panels Ken? ... was K2 available in that candy jet/jade green? Agree it's a lovely looking example. Wonder if the Bridgestone tyres are the originals? That shop is not a million miles from Queenies.

If I were judging shows. I would deduct 30% if transported to venue. Also all would have to be paraded around display arena for additional points
relax and keep doing what you already do..... plenty of jap classics are already trailered to shows... and plenty of brit bikes are ridden in all weather, see the VMC for your local group and tag along..

I should be candy bacchus olive for K2 My K0 is is jet (or jade) green, just a touch greener. Are there joints on tank trim?

Good spot Woodside the tank trim is not original, there should be 4 joints on the trim if it was genuine and there are none of that example.

That's Candy Bacchus Olive Ash. Jade green is much brighter and a lot more green, not a bad colour though just not as nice as Jade Green which after Starlight Gold is my second favourite.

Got to disagree Seabeowner, the K2s are better, the clocks face the rider instead of being flat, that's why I changed mine for the 550F2 clocks as I just couldn't see the damned things when I was flat on the tank, plus the smaller clocks tended to bounce needles a lot.

Ah I see now .... I should have known as I just sold some 72/73 CB350K4 side panels in that colour. Was the Bacchus Olive available in the UK, as I never remember seeing one? Agree with you on the larger clocks Ken ..... Even considered fitting them to my K0 as they look great &  just to annoy the purists.

OK, being picky where are the yellow paint marks to show the bolts are tight, except on rear wheel nut which has way too much!

Imported, then taxed and MOTd May 17. MOT ran out 02/05/18. Did it really pass with 45 year old tyres? Mine were so hard I couldn't tell if there was air in them! I changed wheels for an MOT.
Didn't look at the clocks too much in the 70s. They just reminded me to change the oil yet again.
Detail: oil filter bolt? I have 6 (12mm) all with flat top.
