Looks good phil. I would just do a safety check, give it a good service and ride it with the age related marks ;)

Can't do that Graham! 'Patina' (ie rust and corrosion!) drives me mad! Its just the way I am. Its the rebuilding that I'm missing at the moment, Just got to put the ZZR250 that was going to be my next project on eBay to pay for some chromomg or exhausts!

Oh yes, I can relate 100% with that statement Phil. I've become the same since finishing the Triton build. I always have a project lined up for winter but not this year, there's nothing out there I like at the moment at a decent price. I fancied a 650 Bros but our Mayor has killed that idea with his ULEZ charges (soon to be extended to inside the M25 and that will also kill off my VFR unless I want to pay £300 to send it to a ULEZ compliance test that it may fail!). I might look for a CB550, as they have the right amount of power and weight (and ULEZ exempt 😁).
Good luck with your restoration, that looks like a very nice bike to get stuck into over the winter👍

I HATE that word Patina >:(

Nice one ! I would grab that NOS chainguard I sent you the link on. Great seller that if it's not up to expectations you can get your money back. But the one I got and the 2 off my mate got were near perfect when cleaned. Don't forget that all manuals are in Dropbox inc. The rare K0 green parts book that I scanned myself from my own copy.
There was a semi-pro 350K0 auctioned a few years back from a museum and I nabbed the hi res pics and they are here: Great restorer reference
