From Doobie: 
"I bought this K2 as a winter project last year from a seller in NH and had it shipped to me in MA. It had been sitting for a few years, didn't run and needed all the usual work such as having to rebuild master cylinder, caliper, forks, and carbs. I had to source a bunch of parts for it like the replica exhaust, fork ears, turn signals, and everything made of rubber. I also set ignition timing, valves, balanced the carbs etc. etc. etc."
