well engine runs! The comstars look to be as if they were stock as far as fitment. No evidence of spacers or any milling anywhere. Never seen this combo before. now it's to by this poor orphan some new shoes and give it a bath.

Sadly it has been abused and there are scars.

Engine number:

Correct.  Engines 3000001 and subsequent were K8's.
Frames 2800001 and subsequent for K8's.

I have the manuals specific to the 78 on a Google Drive that are shared out.  You're welcome to download them.

Thanks I will check that out.

Looks like the frame as cut for a Gordon's Frame Kit.

2552887 frame number. Looks like a k6 frame.
So somebody swapped a 78 motor in a 76 frame. Right fork has same provision s for caliper as left. Looks like there use to be a right disk on there as well. So that's kinda cool for dual disk upgrade if I can find the right caliper.

Let's see a pick of the caliper mount, please.

 Nice find, could turn into a decent bike. My K0 is a day 2 restoration, like someone would have built it in the 70's. I had guys whining about my 40 chevy being a street rod, I mentioned it being saved from the scrapyard and how it's been a hot rod since '58.

Thanks Don, it sure has ahem, character.
