Nope, not contacted the seller as, i seem to upset Yorkshire men very easy ;D
I put it on as a buyer beware, because for that kind of money it should be totally correct ;)
And it depends on when the build date was to whether the engine is the correct type for a UK unit.

1) Wrong forks
2) wrong brake arm
3) wrong front mudguard
4) Wrong L/H switch gear
5) R/H switch looks wrong but, can't see properly
6) No Sprocket cover
9) Aftermarket clutch lever
10) Most fasteners are wrong
11) And most properly more
Buyer beware !

Did they retain the same earlier forks and front mudguard throughout the UK K2 series up to the introduction of the K6 in 1976?
The engine No looks to start 22900*** which would be correct for a 73? The registration date is given as 29/08/1973.

Front end was changed on the UK K2's for the late 1974/1975 units. IF the engine starts with 22900*** then, it is a very late 1973 engine and with the date of reg that would of been manufactured some 6 months before. The head even for a 1973 would have the different fins ;)
MrDavo:
Backwards side panel badges and red plug caps are enough to wind me up. Sadly no close ups so I can check the fork caps are on the right way round :)
Bike looks nice enough, but that is Frank money.
