Almost there.
« on: March 12, 2015, 11:07:11 AM »
Rideable (apart from me recovering from total knee replacement). Just a few bits to sort
 need correct l/h fork ear,
could be burning a bit of oil on number 4 which may be better after a decent ride,
Exhaust clamps are knackered (been drilled right through by a blind man)!!
Need the plastic document lid for under seat.
Need the rubber gizmos for top of carbs.
Not sure about jetting yet, put 105's in which as far as I can find out is corrct for a UK 1974 K2
Frame and engine numbers are a long way apart so could be a different engine (or maybe not after reading some info about UK K2's on the site)

nice bike, how far apart are the numbers, they are usually a hundred or so apart
