Yeah, problem is all of the early ones are like it....I'm reluctant to mess with the welds to be honest...

Nice detailed  resto photo's James. my K0 frame resides in the spare bedroom too.

Blasting and powder coating for Frame /Swing/arm/both stands and all other black bracketry was 130 GBP round here and that's exactly what the guy who restores bikes in the 'Motorcycle Programme' on TV said he typically pays, when he gave a talk at Stafford last week Well he said 135 to be precise.

Yeah good point Ash - I did have the option to powder coat but decided to go the paint route this time. Expensive choice but will be good to see how it turns out...
