Yep.  If the bike is complete, I'd keep it and find another motor for the chopper project.  Or, give it to me.

Definitely a KO. Nice score. Post some pictures of the fenders and wheels to get a better idea but Vin and frame numbers suggest it's k0.

See a ducktail seat and a K0 sidecover and airbox top,that's good. Tank does not look like a wrinkle tank though. Some good parts there to work with.

Agreed, you would be money ahead to restore or just refurbish this KO and get something else to cut up. Looks like a lot of good parts there and you probably did not even show us everything you have there.

Actually, the date on the VIN tag is the build date, so it's a 1970. Definitely k0 though.

Good choice, If I was close I'd be on the way with some cash.

 Oh well I ideally I would like to find a Gentry trike frame,,lol  Had one and never should have gotten rid of it. This time looking to do a 70's style with a Santee or other swing arm frame.

 something along these lines
