They keep trying it on
Andrew-S:
I'm by no means an expert, but why is this not a UK bike, it seems some of the parts are correct e.g handle bars, rear light bracket?
Tha DVLA website says this bike was first registered in August 76 (poss manufactured late 75) in which the use of K5 might just be an uninformed owner/seller thinking K1 is 71, K2 is 72 and so on?
Trigger:
It is a UK bike but, a K6 in a USA K5 colour with wrong clocks, switches, handlebars, ears, indicator stems and so on. The error is not only small thing but, a good set of clocks can set you back £300 and to find UK spec switches that are very rare, the costs will mount up ;)
royhall:
What would it cost to sort it correctly Trig, £1000 maybe if you accept the K5 paint? That puts it at 10.5k, is that too much? Just interested in the costs of these things that's all, I won't be buying it.
Trigger:
The point i am trying to make is: I assess bike that some customers wish to buy and what i have found is most are just tarted up to look good. When questioning some of these seller, i have had replies like, well, i see one for sale at 10 grand so mine is worth that. At this point i was looking down and noticed a CB550 hub and swinging arm fitted to the CB750 K1 :o
royhall:
I fully agree with you Trig, I personally enjoy your fault finding posts. Just interested in what it would cost to put right when someone not in the know ends up buying it. Clearly this guy is just trying to make a quick profit as another member spotted it earlier on the vjmc website.
