This looked like a good buy ...early squared crankcase too.

Speedo and tacho on wrong sides and trip knob missing

Bl**dy hell .. I hope I never have to offer a bike up for sale on here ;D ;D
My only real question on that bike would be ..has it had all of the shift gear mods done and countershaft needle roller bearing replaced, which Ash warned me about,
A tall ask I know but far more important than what type of fuel tap its got.

..tyre valve caps don't look right..☺☺

Hey TJ, according to some, if it's not 100% original it's not worth having. Petrol tap is clearly the wrong type, which means the tanks been changed. A major component like the tank is a big thing, if the engine had been changed to a 550 for instance that would detract from it's value. To get it back to standard would mean a new tank and they ain't that easy to find these days. I'm not knocking the bike, it's really nice and I'd be happy to own it, others though do comment on these little things, wait until a 750K0 comes up and watch them gather to pull it to bits.
It's also missing the small side panel transfers only the K0 got. Just saying.

Oh thought it was a speedo with RHS reset as fitted to some 450s I think. Couldn't make it out.
