Hello all, a friend has just acquired a very late project 850 Mk2 or Mk2A, it is showing aprox 9500 miles but in rough condition, has matching engine gearbox and frame plate numbers 320XXX, no airbox but a K&N filter, the frame has several brackets similar to my current Mk3 [ I have previously owned a Mk2 & Mk2A so am familiar with them] which neither of my previous bikes had, the seat base is Mk3 without the hinge but a professional looking bracket attached to where the hinge would mount, the battery sits across the battery tray like my Mk3 but does not have a dzus fitting [mk2A] so is this that late that most of the chassis parts are Mk3? the fork yokes have the holes for the mk3 type brake pipes but the swingarm does not have the cotter pin setup and a drum brake rear wheel, can anybody shed some light on what my friend has?
