I bought the bike and it’s not a F1 it’s a F0.1975 USA bike with 24,000 miles and in better Nick than I expected.The exhaust looks to be sound no corrosion,wheel rims look clean but rear spokes not so good,tank has been welded but I had a spare thrown in free,seat has a tear,one side cover cracked,carbs clean but out of sync starts and rides ok but rear brake cylinder needs rebuild.Very happy with it and should get it looking good by summer,may still bung a Delkevic on it as they’re so cheap.

Rob62 Delkevic looks good on your K series,just realized looking at your photo that you “lose” the c/stand,not too bothered though

If that is the one I think it is, it has the original exhaust on it which are neigh on impossible to find in good condition.

Spitfire:
Yep if that is an original exhaust then it's a keeper, my original header fell to bits after the bike was stored for ten years, luckily I found a NOS one for a good price, my original silencer is in the loft but they too are rare.

Cheers

It is the original exhaust system and it looks to be in good Nick but have only just taken bike off trailer will assess what needs doing tomorrow.Definately have it resprayed orange and a Delkevic system to start with
