My k7 head has same valve size as the earlier k series,  not sure if I read your post correctly trigger, as far as I know F2 is the only one with larger valves,  also different cam and re-worked head to accommodate the big valves

F2 heads have 410 on the casting  by the inlet side,  there is only one valve size on the F2 ,

It's got a strange brake master cylinder on it

Could it be fitted with one like in the image below Julie? Problem with this bike is it has had bits robbed from it in the past and replaced with other items, so who knows what is orginal.  So I take back what I initially said about it being an excellent restorers reference.

(Attachment Link)
Yes I agree ash, at first glance the bike seemed good, I could imagine being very dissapointed, if i saw it in the flesh
Way too many parts been swapped out,

I just enlarged the pics, it will need a total restore,
I am just wondering if that wear on front disk is only 3.6 km, I am sure they said not ridden

A very nice bike, agreed that's a certain level of restoration is needed, I am not that sure the value when restored would be huge amounts more than a fully restored one with higher mileage,  but it's nice to own a bike with a know history

« on: November 18, 2020, 06:48:31 PM »
I would like to have electric car and bike, but certainly not now ,they are just not ready yet
But battery technology is moving really fast, and it's now been announced that 2030 is the cut off point and there will no longer be petrol/ diesel cars for sale new ,
I am a van person dont really use cars, its going to be a really long time before they can get commercial vehicles that will do the job, so I dont think I will ever see a van with the right price and range in my time left while able to drive
As for bikes, it really excites me that perhaps 5 years down the line there will be a decent bike with range and acceptable price,
Bring it on is what I say
But my passion will always be with the combustion engine
