Ok martin here are the pictures as promised , the engine seems to be complete, but is totally stripped, this is how i bought it, it was stripped as it needs reconditioning, probably rebore and the usual things like cam chain and tensioners etc
Some of the outer covers are no good , the altenator cover has damage, and the sump plug hole has been welded up
The F1 exhaust is about as good as you will find for a second hand one, very solid , the side that you see is still quite bright but far from perfect, the rear where it does not get cleaned has fine surface corrosion but solid no holes , tiny crack where it clamps up, but very usable
Here is the link to the pictures the price is £300 for the lot

Thanks Pete, really appreciate your help. I can collect today if you are available, will call to arrange. Can I make a final decision on silencer when I see. Thanks again.

What in the hell is that thing? Is that a worm? You must have very different worms on your side of the pond.
I think that someone thought that squirting grease in there would help to un seize

That head damage wasn't caused by rings as it extends beyond the bore. My guess is it was caused by a twat.
Just the effect of water in combustion chamber over an extended period of time.

Hi Martin welcome aboard fella, i have an F1 in my stash although it is all dismantled and boxed up just waiting for them days where i think i will have the time and money to rebuild, great bikes the f1's , they evolved in to the F2 which is even better bike, good luck with your project, any questions just ask
Pete
Thanks, I actually prefer look of F1 to K having had a 400/4 previously. Doesnt stop me thinking about a K if the right project came along

The last picture looks like someone is using the wrong tool to clean it up.
Just a rotary wire brush, the metal had corroded so badly .
