That is is not original paint, is it? Peculiar positioning of the brake actuator rod.

I seem to remember some people getting rather paranoid about the torque arm failing and the brake locking on. But, of course, even with the inverted fitting of the brake rod, if the back plate were to spin round the brake would still be applied as the cam works in both directions. Slightly less chance of this happening if the brake is operated by a cable. as on the early CB 72's etc.

The 500s speedo and tacho don’t look correct?
The selling price gives me hope that my money pit K1 550 resto will have some value when it’s finished. Not that it matters because I don’t want to sell it, but it does help to think the cash is not going into a total black hole. If you know what I mean.
