Bill...the thing that throws me off of it as being a MK2 engine is the round top cam covers. :S
But they can be adapted to fit.

What color was the bike originally?

You can see the smog ports on head around valve cover,the stator/generator was what gave it away to me

That looks like quite a tidy set of headers/muffler on your VERY nice MKII - what brand is it and where did it come from? I have the original set but some F'wit has sawn off the pipes which are normally part of the collector box, and I'm not sure if I can resurrect the original system. Maybe can get a clever bloke with a MIG welder to fix it up and get the pipes re-chromed. Can get a replica muffler for around $500-00, so might be an option?

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationThe system is a "Kerker" Bill...purchased from Hobart Cycle USA.

If you can get a replica muffler for around $500-00 grab it. :whistle:
