Looks like frank also bought the MadJack k0 that was in scotland @£10k (the jdm one) and has it up for £16k at the moment...

And now..

Fair play to the guy - he's certainly driving the perceived Value of these K0's...and now k1's...

As A UK bike shouldn't the rear light be black?

Yeah I thought the same....Trigger will know....

Yep, a UK should have the black 4 mount tail light bracket.
James, how do you know that frank has bought this. Could be on sale or return over the winter

Sure he was in Yorkshire and I sold him a K0 seat cover on eBay, a couple of years back and some nice K2 shocks, which were on my K0 when I bought it.
That's the bike I photo'd and posted pics here at Lotherton Hall VJMC show in July with the 'side script' modern DID rims.
Personally, having seen that bike close up , I don't think it was worth 10K but I may be out of touch on prices. Thought it would have had at least a Yamiya seat cover. Probably got the one on that I sold, which I obviously considered not fit for the bike and got one specially made by Morretti instead. Then bought a Yamiya seat this week !!!

Here is my original post on it :-

BRIGHTON  BIKE (CGU 7H) Before prepping for UK use (ex Las Vegas Dealer Convention)... Square rear lamp, prototype master cylinder, Note C50 style indicators, Flat seat, high handlebars, solid metal brake line to M/cyl

[ Guests cannot view attachments ]

[ Guests cannot view attachments ] After Prepping for UK (Sold to lord Denbigh ... Rollo Feilding) , oval real lamp, production master cylinder. Lower  K2 style handlebars. First registered in the UK on 4th Sept 1969 but manufactured much earlier in '69.

PRESS BIKE (YLY70H) ... Registered Feb 1970 NOTE THE GORGEOUS SEAT ... Not even Yamiya could replicate its pronounced 'ducktail' and dual step profile. why the Hell design something so nice, then supersede to bland K1, then blander K2-K6 and finally awful K8 !!

K8 seat URGGH!
