Well as there seems to be no shortage of 400 fours I thought I would join in and acquired this on Thurs. What a cracking little bike it is to ride. Uncomfortable at the moment, well downright painful due to needing a new hip which hopefully will be done just after Christmas, but I really do like it. I bought it untried and no mot, took it on Sat for test and it sailed through and rode fine. Lorraine went to Sherburn in Elmet on Sunday on it got there no problems. Coming back it started in the carpark fine but after about 400yds spluttered to as stop. Eventually got it started again and this was repeated time and time again until after about 10mls it decided to sort itself out and came home the remaining 15mls no bother. My thoughts are after draining the tank an looking at the snow white plugs are even though it has a manual fuel tap it is also a vac operated diaphragm valve on as well. I think the diaphragm valve must have been stuck starving it of fuel. Pulled in bits and put back together as it was spotless. I have done 60mls on it today stopping every mile or so and turning off the engine so the vale would operate and it has been faultless. Anyone any other thoughts as it is going on the back of the van on Weds for a few days away.

Different on the USA ones then. I was just a bit surprised to see a train weight of 426kg which is the weight including trailer. Which we were not allowed to tow in 1976 in the UK, but maybe so in some mainland Europe countries.

I have leds in my clocks and idiot lights the improvement is minor but they run a lot cooler and save a few watts. These bike are not exactly overflowing with electricity and as they say every little helps.

It would seem they are the same diameter at 35mm.

Great news, but how. There must be a story behind it.

Blimey, whoever that chap is on that website knows how to blow his own trumpets !!! That article is full of crap and glaring errors.

Isn't that The England light and not the one fit on USA models.
Do you know something Moorey, I'm not sure. But, I am sure I have seen the more rounded type on USA bikes. We need Peter and Mick, who both have USA K1's to let us know what they have fitted and then find someone with a UK K1 to see what's on theirs. The only person I know with a UK K1 is Paul Gledhill but I'm not sure if he had a rear light in all the boxes of bits he got with his restoration project. A UK K1 is a very, very rare bike, so there's not many around to compare with.
When you look through the parts lists the one for sale has the correct rear light for USA and other models other than England Germany and Holland. Your pic would seem to be for England only. The German and Holland lights been different again.
Why didn't they just have one style back light, it would be less confusing. But I'm sure you are correct and the bike for sale has the correct light fitted, it just doesn't look right to me though.
It does seem strange these days but maybe it was to do with suiting local laws in some way. Even as late as the Fs they had different rear lights and indicators for different countries.

The trouble is they are selling to those who don't know and are trying to screw every penny out of the job. Why else would be even mention K1. Amazing how many will buy without doing any sort of homework and just believe som ething they are told by the seller simply because a item is fashionable at the time. When the arse drops out of this market which it will in time, they will simply move on to the next money maker. The upside been plenty about for the true enthusiast.

Even though that self proclaimed expert is up his own arse he does specify it's all on USA models.
