The CB750 K2 UK unit is a lovely bike but, at this price it should be totally correct .
1) Wrong forks
2) wrong brake arm
3) wrong front mudguard
4) Wrong L/H switch gear
5) R/H switch looks wrong but, can't see properly
6) No Sprocket cover
9) Aftermarket clutch lever
10) Most fasteners are wrong
11) And most properly more
Buyer beware !

Ah but it was professionally done 10 years ago Trigger.
Some peoples glasses are very tinted, at least i admit mine will be rebuilt not restored

Have you sent the seller a message to piss on his bonfire Graham? ;)

Nope, not contacted the seller as, i seem to upset Yorkshire men very easy ;D
I put it on as a buyer beware, because for that kind of money it should be totally correct ;)
And it depends on when the build date was to whether the engine is the correct type for a UK unit.

Did they retain the same earlier forks and front mudguard throughout the UK K2 series up to the introduction of the K6 in 1976?
The engine No looks to start 22900*** which would be correct for a 73? The registration date is given as 29/08/1973.

Front end was changed on the UK K2's for the late 1974/1975 units. IF the engine starts with 22900*** then, it is a very late 1973 engine and with the date of reg that would of been manufactured some 6 months before. The head even for a 1973 would have the different fins ;)

Backwards side panel badges and red plug caps are enough to wind me up. Sadly no close ups so I can check the fork caps are on the right way round :)
Bike looks nice enough, but that is Frank money.

Also has HM300’s..

It's a nice bike, maybe not for the purists, but at the starting bid of £17500 surely he's having a laugh. ::)

I didn't spot that James. Is there any numbers on them ?

As I velcro and cable tie the boxes of Frankenstein items together in my shed, I do worry the final result my see me evicted from this site for ever. 😂
-
As long as the result is a working motorcycle, and one that is seriously going to be used, you can't do anything wrong by my standards ;)
-
But you wouldnt pass it off as a perfect restore and ask over the odd for it now would you
-
Of course not, BUT I wouldn't dare riding a perfect restore for fear of damaging it. And IMHO a bike is for riding, a bike that is only looked at is missing its purpose! ;D

Only on the 1st April 😉

In my opinion, I don’t know why you would go to the expense and work that this owner has gone too and not paid a little more attention to detail. Even as perfect restore job the price has got to be on the high side. For that price you are definitely not wanting to have to throw more money at.
-
If you are going to restore original stock then yes, the devil is in the detail. I am pleased mine is a bit af a bitser. As a first attempt and a shed build, I don't feel under pressure and have some flexibility. It keeps wifely of my case budget wise too.
