Wow, this really is coming together quickly, thanks to this wonderful forum again!  I'll hang on till the bike's home and then shout for help from all who have offered.  It gives an old man a rosy glow (might be the wine too!)

An Apparently fully furnished American import F2. Nab it while you can?

It's an F1 Phil, green clocks, the F2 got blue clocks like the K3.

Plus F1 had fork gaiters fitted, F2 didn't.
I have the same and it's my favourite ride. Mine was a DK special, yours's looks truly a shiny orange. Sure you will be pleased.
Always a few things to fiddle/change: Silencer, brake pedal, clutch lever.........

Well folks, the deal is done!

I'll report back when it touches down in a couple of weeks (well it is about 800 miles away!)

James is now one CB550 poorer but 4s 6d (plus a balloon) richer and I am one happy bunny!
