Title: Almost there.
Post by: csd4t on March 12, 2015, 11:07:11 AM

Rideable (apart from me recovering from total knee replacement). Just a few bits to sort
 need correct l/h fork ear,
could be burning a bit of oil on number 4 which may be better after a decent ride,
Exhaust clamps are knackered (been drilled right through by a blind man)!!
Need the plastic document lid for under seat.
Need the rubber gizmos for top of carbs.
Not sure about jetting yet, put 105's in which as far as I can find out is corrct for a UK 1974 K2
Frame and engine numbers are a long way apart so could be a different engine (or maybe not after reading some info about UK K2's on the site)

So can someone with a UK K2 put this to bed and clarify as there seems to be some mis-information out there. My understanding is that the UK only had the K2 up until the K6 arrived in 76 (wheras rest of world got k3,k4,k5 in the interim years). So were all UK k2 vin/engine matched in the range 2xxxxxx / E2xxxxxx?

James
I'm not sure if this is the original engine although there is no evidence to suggest otherwise and I have a big history file with it.
(there again a lot can happen in 40 years)
Either way it's another 750 back on the road.
Happy days, if only I could ride it!!!!!

Don't think so James, on the 500 where we only had K1 frame numbers went to 2****** and engine numberes where vastly different
