Engine and frame no's
Sparrow1:
Still trying to upload photos on this thread?! Strange, as My profile photo worked...🤔
So, so put a closure on this, the engine number indeed proved to be a problem with this year and frame no. As Sprinta stated, later confirmed by Trigg, 220/230's are the correct no's for the later K2's and the 204 is from an earlier K2, Circa 1972 and was fitted to the 1974 frame due to common problem then of the chain letting go. The restorer replaced the engine in good faith, keeping it as close to the original frame no, an easy mistake to make many years ago. Now days, engines are repaired if feasible. I've pulled out sadly but my thanks to all contributed to this thread and particularly to Trigger for guiding me through this - preventing an embarrassing resale value in years to come perhaps.
Back to looking and trying to work why the this thread won't accept my IPad photos..hmmm..
Nige.

Ok, I'll dig one out.
Indeed the Bomber is well and lovely. Wasn't sure if I was allowed to mention a 450 here! 😳
Let you know about this K2. Have now spoken to the restorer - sounds promising.

Course you are allowed to mention your Bomber on here in 'Other Bikes' section. I have one, albeit in a million bits, and sold a project one to a member on here a few months back ! Plus another member has just imported a flip front seat '67 one. So there are at least four of us on here including yourself who own one. I just scored a 'NOS in box' front guard for mine in Japan for £101 .. one happy bunny .. I told the guy to bid up to £330 (yes they are that rare) but nobody bid against us so it went for the start price. DS does repros for £330 but they don't look right IMHO because they have folded over front and rear edges.
