What's going on with the back wheel? 

JamesH:
Typical us mod back in the 70's - fit a god awful 16" harley rim to the stock hub...

I would hazzard a guess that this is one for the first ~2500 500 k0's built....

Yes ..saw that .. its April 71 so probably near the end of the run of those early crankcases. Don't you just hate the 'Freddie' blurb as if every customer is an absolute f'kin moron. Yes, I know you get time wasters on eBay but his attitude actually puts me off buying anything from him any more. ?If he's like that before you buy from him what's he going to be like when you have parted with your reddies?

I didn't pick up a bike I bought from DK once for ages, so applying Freddies storage charges, he would have slapped an 800 quid storage charge onto me for that one !

Yeah, one of the rare that still had 'shaft drive'. Interesting exhaust (4th cylinder). ;)
