It's a great looking bike, but I think calling it a "restoration" goes a bit too far.

tires are good but wrong pattern, valve stem caps are incorrect

looks pretty good, even chain looks clean

Mickey, I'm surprised you didn't catch the incorrect tank! I'm not referring to the paint scheme, I'm referring to the petcock being on the left side, which only the K5-K6's had. Wink
He does mention in his notes that he replaced the tank...
Aftermarket ignition switch too, probably Emgo?

I'm getting old Sad

Ignition is in correct location. Many used to move the ign switch up to the handlebar bracket with a V shaped chrome bracket, but correct location is under the tank left side front as I remember it.

Yes, correct location, aftermarket switch. Thumbs Up
