Hello From Malta! :)
« on: November 23, 2014, 04:17:45 PM »
Hello All !!

Thanks for accepting my request to join SOHC !! 8)

I used to own a 1975 K5 but had to sell it , but now my next one which is a K2 American  Model , should be with me next Friday !!

Anyone can help me with the differences of the Uk k2 Version and the USA K2 version? and were there any different colors between them? As this one is green . The owner insisted that this was a a USA color but I am pretty sure it was a custom job.

Thanks

John

Different handlebars, switches, rear light braket, indicator buzzer, lights on all the time are i think most of the differences. No offical geen till the K4

Sure is big enough  ;D . you make mine look tiny!! Will be able to post more pics when the bike is here.

Seems abit different the Green and mine has black stripes. Also side panel badges of mine are of later models. Will start making it closer to original with time !!

John has your bike been imported from America recently?
It looks vaguely familiar I'm sure I'v seen it on sohc4.net
engine and frame numbers will help work out what colour it should be

So you won't want to hear that I like the colour of your bike so much, I want my spare tank and tail done in it! But it will be on an F1, not a K, but at the moment I can't decide what colour to have the tank stripes/super sport script made in.:))
