Here's my K2 after almost two years. This particular frame kit is special (to me at least) as its basically what saved my project. When I first bought it, I didn't look under the tank until later and found out the PO had chopped the frame horribly. A lot of people suggested simply finding another frame, or a different bike altogether.

Gordon reached out to me and told me of this perfect kit for the job! I wasn't sure how I'd get it to work since I didn't have the missing tubing, so Gordon added all the missing tubing and the anlge bar triangulation pieces at no extra charge! This was amazing, as we had all of 2 PMs between us, and I was blown away by how Gordon and most others were willing to go out of their way to help me out, a brand new guy without a clue :D

I had my welder carefully work on it since there really wasn't much tubing left at the front, he did a great job and was really impressed with all the color coded installation instructions that came with the kit.

After powder coating, the kit blends in so seamlessly, its looks and feels a part of the bike. I have one installed on my K3 too, and that frame was untouched. Usually people think that these are good to have in case there is a top end issue, but there are so many other benefits too. Installing the engine into the frame is a breeze, installing and working on the carbs and air box is SOO much better with a lot more access and room to move tools around tightening down clamps, installing hoses etc. etc. I just did ALL of this, so I'm talking from my hands on experience.

 Tack welded in, the entire center had been cut out. I removed the center from a wrecked 75F, and welded the stubs back in with the kit. This is disassembly for powder coating and shows how easy it is to work on the engine. I removed the head and cylinder with the engine in the frame, changed the cam and retimed it.

This weekend perhaps?! Going to start on my second one. Both 75 F's. Took a peek at #1 earlier and took some measurements to duplicate the cuts. The wiring harness frame attachments were located at different distances from the down tube. Guess it doesn't matter though.

How are you guys cutting? Sawzall, grinder, hack saw, tube cutter?

I taped, drew straight lines and used a hacksaw. Very easy and nice straight clean cuts.

I did the exact same on my K3, might have some pix in my K3 build thread.

If you are building a bike you NEED a kit! So happy with mine, and it saved me a lot of extra work. Also, great selection of quality tools. (I like the pics of the installed kit in the video  ;) ;D )

Yes Ed, I told you that I would put it to good use and the camera and show visitors don't care that it doesn't have valves! The wrinkle finish power coat and new, OEM screws were all I needed thanks to you. I have used it on the nesting socket set videos, this frame kit, and at several shows I've attended. Thanks Again, Gordon

I love this kit!! It is definitely worth it. Gordon is a great guy, I had one of the bolts strip on me and lucky I had net welded the joints yet, sent Gordon an email asking for the price of a replacement end piece and he simply replied no charge on its way and sent it 2 day priority. If that isn't a great example of customer service I don't now what is. Buy the kit it is worth it 100%
