WARNING! Very Original K0
« on: July 27, 2019, 02:20:32 PM »
They keep trying it on  :o
Wrong seat
Wrong clocks
Wrong ears
Wrong handlebars
And a shed load of parts missing, Repro parts and wrong parts.

Come on lads and lasses, don't let this seller down and get your hard earned cash out for this one  ::)

Rewired as well using scotch lock connectors, it might be interesting in the headlight.

Problem is there will nearly always be somebody out there that doesnt know any better and rather than research everything they will impulse buy.

If it was a K0 it ran into a K2 and had a Barsteward child. Notice there are no frame/engine numbers in listing!!!

Missing air box cover as well

Looks like a sound bike that needs a bit of repair work to the wiring and (depending upon your level of “correctness”) a few parts replacing. Who knows what could be lurking underneath. What would be a reasonable price? Whats the general consensus.... its definitely worth something

I come over all nauseous after seeing the bodgelocks in the wiring.

Well it's deffo overpriced IMHo for what it is. Thing is though, everyone criticises but sometimes these bikes when you negotiate a 'realistic' price, turn out to be good 'uns.

It happened last year with a '75 UK 400/4 my friend got ....  I asked around and everyone suggested he gave it a wide berth (including me at the time) and that no way was the mileage genuine. Anyway he dragged me to see it and after literally two hours of banter and negotiating we got it for reasonable money and the engine turned out to be a real peach that needed hardly anything doing to it mechanically and I now believe it was a genuine 10k miler,  well maintained, as claimed. My mate has almost completed its restoration now  and it looks and sounds stunning.
