£2,000 is cheap

Yeah I thought that, but when you look carefully at the photos it's cosmetically quite challenged. Still, if the pipes are solid may be worth a punt.

The seat has had more than 9,000 miles of use  ;D ;D

Rear indicator mounts are wrong, rear light is wrong, headlight on/off switch is missing and the head and base gaskets both appear to be leaking oil badly.

Not unsolvable problems but what with the seat as well I wouldn't pay that for it.

But, it does have original tank trim Oddjob  ;D ;D ;D

Rear light and bracket are US K2, probably mudguard as well, indicator stems are correct but the grabrail is missing, K1 clocks, @orrible cut down seat (seems to be a US thing---perhaps to fit the larger butt!) US didn't have the lightson/off switch

Agreed. I would expect a 9000 mile bike to look in better shape than that.

Looks like a typical yank "Cut Down" job. They seem to do that a lot----don't remember them being pareicular shortarses
