.........Its not so easy to find my type of restoration base now I think you guys must have them all in your sheds and garages  ;D

Yup, and we're guarding them closely. ;)

Long shot but worth a thought; get onto the international sohc-4 forum (http://forums.sohc4.net/) and search around for one in the states then import it here. from what I've seen, K2 onwards rough runners are going for around $2000-$4000. The arseache would be in organising the buying, collecting, shipping, importation, registration etc. The yanks are usually pretty helpful when it comes to things like that. On the plus side you could find two and import them both; one for rebuilding and the other for spare bits.

As everybody said is more suited to spares than a rebuild unless you already had the parts to complete this one ,an engine rebuild would be needed and obviously a respray ,advised the price may be too high and suggested around

I think if you needed the spares that the asking price is now pretty near none of it is exceptionally good but all the parts where ok most need something doing to them but there is not enough in  my opinion to start a restoration from as I said before I have done Yamaha two strokes from this sort of donor but I have spares in stock for them and know them inside out .If its still there after Christmas I might still have a go though im just a sucker for a basket case

When I bought my 500/4 in boxes the original engine was completely worn out.  Apart from the gearbox there was not a single serviceable part inside.  The total cost of rebuilding it even back in 1995 was so high that it was cheaper to find another engine from a low mileage import, for which I paid

Looks like someone abandoned this as a project.
1st question is why? time or money?
I am building a K2 for someone and it arrived complete. Must have spent
