Impressive, KO's quite rare now, and valuable, spares not so easy these days. Got a pair of HM300 'zorsts here, My K2 is pretty standard except for Akronts and Koni's. 650 and fj are both completely standard. Where you based.

I am in Newcastle upon tyne Prelude91 First K0 I got had been standing in garage for 20 years stripped, it had had a big bore conversion done on it and it snapped a conrod thrugh the crankcases and chain had snapped so another hole in crankcases, replaced with new set. If the hm300's have no writing on them they will be worth a few quid for sure. I last had K0 on the road in 2005, bit of a waste really but someday lol

Ironically, my K2 was originally registered back in '72 in your neck of the woods. had it for nearly 20 years, but she's always taken a back seat compared to the 650 and FJ, bit of a waste, as you say, last on road on '06, so may sell it this year. Toured France this year on the FJ and did over 6k miles this summer, most miles in living memory this year. Love to see some 'photos, somewhen. Good luck with the 'lude issues.

I never seem to have a problem taking things apart Ratty and I usually get them back together but are the parts available, breakers often quote telephone numbers for parts they can't/wont guarantee

2 minute job to change the dizzy so you would know if it worked before you left the breakers
