Didn’t the K6 have two decals on the rear chainguard? Lol (or was that only the USA units?)

Yanks both on the chain guard. I just replaced them as the bike was very original with 38,000 miles.

Very nice  :) although there were,  or seemed to be, alot of the red K6 around,  I really like the blue paint.

Lovely looking bike Graham, are you keeping or selling?

I hope Graham intends keeping it for a while. I have just sold the Thundercat, which was the only bike we ever used 2 up, so I'm assuming this is the 2 up replacement.

That is a great result, I love to see bikes resurrected, I still wonder how many bikes are mouldering away in sheds and garages up and down the country.

Yes Rich, 15 July 2015  ;) The guys electric meter for the house in a old back box  ;D ;D

Have kept a lot of the age with this one, tank is still original (even down to the dent). Handle bars still original and had the clocks serviced but, kept the original faces and the exhausts are still original ( with scuffs ) .
