Never seen that bracket before, there is a small one near the coils but, that is not it.

I think I have the one for the coils..
I cannot place this one..it was in one of my boxes and it's a similar gauge to the front engine mount brackets....
It looks like it would have somthing looped over it ....guess it's not required

Don't know...
Think I may keep with the aged look for now...I seem to have most parts so far so I may just take everything back off and give it all a good deep clean and refresh to get it all working well so it's all functional
A full 100% restoration is not really what I would want..I kinda like the good useable condition...
Engine is seized solid so that needs a whole lotta love....was going to ask you about that

I've got to sell something. now it's a whole bike again I'm stuffed for room
I did sell the other k0 and 400/4 and gained a bit of room but now I've filled it up again..perhaps I should take another one to bits

Can't stop kicking myself again..after realising that I pretty much have a bike here and now the set of pipes are on there way ..I think I dropped a bollock not giving everything a real deep clean and buff before racing into putting it together...
Still I suppose I didn't know it was going to go so well
And it definately needs tearing down again either way...so Ho hum
Tonight I took a step back and gave what I can get to a soak in good old 4 star I got from a shed at work in an old esso tin....and a little rub with peek
I think it looks ten times better..
It's going to take a real good picture when its whole again..
The tank even got it too...
That's another thing anyone got a set of tank badges...
I'm happy if anyone has any of the spare bits I need to pay for them I'm not after gifts here....
Also as you can see condition isn't an issue
Looking at it now I'm tempted to have a oily rag but mechanically good bike
I did notice on the clocks the drives are wobbly I guess the deep storage under all the other parts they have taken a bash...is this terminal or salvageable

More pics

If it's got tits or wheels, it's hassle, if it's got both, RUN!!!
