You have a late 72 engine an early 1973 k3 frame.Yours is one of the last k2's
Since the date of manufacture is 72 and its originally from America it would have been either Brier brown or flake sunrise orange

Hi Guys,

Yesterday I picked up the bike . After a short ride I had to return the bike back !! I noticed some oil coming out from a repair weld to the engine case were it is tied to the frame underneath the oil tank!!  :-[ :-[  Is this something common on these bikes?


Was not happy at all but it was better to return it !! will have to start looking again for another one !!
