Simon, that site you posted a link to is 100% USA model bikes, so no good for your UK K2. I will take photos of our UK K2 later of the bits you need clarification on.

Still not taken any pics yet Simon but will do in the morning.
The top and bottom yoke and idiot light cluster were painted in what was gloss paint in the 1970's but todays equivalent is semi gloss / satin. We use powder coat.
The headlamp bowl is Honda NH1 black paint.
Not sure which parts you mean when you say clutch and brake lever mountings but if its the parts I think you are on about, they are black anodised.
The lower fork assemblies were polished and lacquered originally but we just polish.
The speedo and tacho casings are satin matt black paint ( Peter Horton, Kent 400 who restores the clocks, uses a spray paint which is perfect).
