Replacement engine though will hurt the value significantly...

Where does it say it’s got a replacement engine?

Should have an early ‘square case’ crankcase on a bike that early. I’ve had several early 500 K0’s and an engine range variance of 3000+ means it’s 99% likely to have had a replacement engine..

I thought you'd managed to decipher the engine number on that crappy photo James!

My “square case” K0 is 2739 (engine) and 3240 (VIN) first registered on 1/4/71.

I wonder when they changed?

Got email message back saying yes it does appear to be a later engine, which we all here knew, but rekons its still good value.
