Steph,
I'm dead envious of the condition of both your 550's.
especially four gleaming 4-into-4 pipes on the K3.

My K3 is (still) on the lookout for the last one of four ORIGINAL pipes (No4 cyl) 
- the last of the "hens teeth" one might say!

here's a piccy of mine down alongside the flooded River Severn.

I paid a visit to the garage today (unfortunately only time for a short ride  :( ) and had a look at the tanks on the 550F2 and K3. As far as I can see the tanks are identical, measured them and they are the same size.

Oddjob, I also had a look at my F2 parts book, it turns out the mudguard with the front stay was only used on English and European Direct Sales models, all others had the same mudguard as the K3.

Thanks for your nice comments on the K3 Andy, yours looks lovely too and glad to see you've been out enjoying it. Unfortunately due to lack of space (/too many bikes!) the K3 will be up for sale soon  :( It will be a reluctant sale as it really is lovely but a 750K0 has just moved in to the garage, meaning we really can't move in there any more!

Steph.

Trigger:
Thanks Steph. So there we have it boys and girls, the tanks are the same.

Norniron:
No theyre not the k3 has a chrome trim around its rim
