Bit strange that it has no wiring loom fitted (but included with the sale). Perhaps its a bitsa.
Looks half decent though but until you get close up 'in the flesh' it's hard to tell. I think the rear shocks are pattern.

I just spotted this in FB Marketplace down here.
Do the DOHC experts think it is worth the $$

That looks like a CB500T frame to me not a 450. Drum front end is from an earlier model .... K2 perhaps.
That's equivalent to £285 so just about worth it for a punt on the engine and other useful parts like the front hub.

After a bit of searching it looks like the 5 speed K2 frame shown on this site....

Hard to tell really, it is an 8 hr drive each way to get it if I want it.... not sure I want it that much lol

A lot more desirable if it is a K2 but still a bit of a dog .. but who knows ?
