Agree with sentiment. Would prefer to sell to someone who knows. Anyone interested PM me and I will send detailed pictures.
Frames /swing arms have been restored with two pac , colour matched. No scratches or dents. One bike I progressed a little further then the others with wheels restored with NOS Metzeler tyres, polished Sun rims. One tank, side plates, air box, seat, handle bards, levers, grips etc, restored. I noticed tonight a renthal handle bar from the day is amongst the lots. I remember it come of the younger bike (76-77 GS) but not sure if this was original. Lots of NOS pieces. (ie. new handle bars, levers, cables, rubber sleeves). Some new moulded plastics. Also have one set original fenders decayed but mouldable. Also spent a lot of time on ebay so various pieces which don't belong to the bikes. i.e. front forks from an 80 model come to mind. The 175 / 400 engines were runners, complete. the 250 magnesium was decaying. (i.e. why I purchased another complete 250 motor from the states). Overall I would be confident that at least 90% of each bike is there. Not that I threw anything out, just two of the bikes weren't runners when purchased and had a piece or two missing.
One thing i could never confirm is that the 76 stamped looked like a 77GS but it had an orange frame. I always thought the orange frame didn't turn up until the next year. Perhaps the original owner painted it orange to look like a "new bike". Under the orange there was the ktm grey.. so not sure. [All frames are restored grey].
