I met a guy that bought out a lot of old shop stock. He lost a barn full in a divorce, had to sell it at auction. He was years ahead of the curve but quit doing it years ago. I had recently retired to do a job that vaporized and didn't know if I could afford to go to the sale. I should have found out about his stash sooner.

Wow, now there's some treasure! There's a guy on Ebay trying to sell a RHS K0 handlebar switch (used, but in very nice condition) for $300.00 USD, I honestly thought about buying it for my K0, but the Yamiya switches are such good replicas I decided against it, but that there has gotta be worth $500 USD to the right buyer?

Same/same for the gauges, especially the K1 speedo, that's rarer than rocking horse manure! Somehow I've got a new old stock tail light that I didn't use on my K0 so it'll go on my K1 build, I'm not sure if they're that rare because they used them on lots of models, but still a good find, for sure. Well done mate, I hope you can either use them on one of your builds, or make some money out of them!

Terry..... sent you a PM.

Raff and 754....... asked about your queries, PM’s sent.

Prospect · « **Reply #37 on:** December 17, 2020, 05:51:54 PM »

Nice score. There is a guy on Kijiji -local- selling a new k1 tach to complement your find. He wants $600

BenelliSEI · « **Reply #38 on:** December 17, 2020, 05:54:42 PM »

Prospect..... Jeez. I used to buy entire bikes for $1200! I may just have to look. Ouch.

PeWe · « **Reply #39 on:** December 18, 2020, 12:04:35 AM »

K1 cost more due to the small production, right?
But less bikes to be restored..

K2 was produced 1972-75 for Europe.

The K1 had the largest production volume of units then any other year. If I remember I think it was like 77,000 but sure I can be corrected. They were pumpin' em out big time that year to meet demand.

Not luck as much the fact that he is a good 'hunter'.

I used to buy K1 gauges reasonable on ebay when my K0 had them on it. I'll need to have a look and see what's in the box. I made a ring prying fixture out of oak to work on them. When I found K0 gauges that I could afford I almost fainted. A speedo from the Sandcast site and a tach from a generous guy on here. I got a pair of covers from ebay and ended up with enough to supply the poo brown K0 I got last year.

BenelliSEI · « **Reply #45 on:** December 18, 2020, 08:34:18 AM »

I think the most interesting part is the “black top” RHS bar switch. These have not been available for years. I compared it to the Yamiya switch on my K0 and there are very subtle differences (not enough to warrant a swap). I wonder what it’s really worth? May put it on EBay just for fun!

Jerry Rxman Griffin aka MuthaF'er · « **Reply #46 on:** December 18, 2020, 08:52:09 AM »

Compare it to JTMarks stuff. If it were me I'd start at $500 or set the reserve at $500

lash · « **Reply #47 on:** December 18, 2020, 08:54:22 AM »

How about $10 and a Blackberry? Oh wait, this isnt kijiji!

754 · « **Reply #48 on:** December 18, 2020, 09:47:13 AM »

500 ! That's all I paid for my Sandcast and it had , black switch, good guages, long choke, lefty horn, 28 carbs...etc..

RAFster122s · « **Reply #49 on:** December 18, 2020, 01:00:39 PM »

Frank,how many years ago was that sandcast purchase?
