I'd say the description says 2 but then says price is each

Not just that he says he has changed the top crank case due to case damage, therefore non matching top and bottom cases.

Yep, not doing himself any favours but at least he's being honest

says he sold 15 LCs in the last year, so yeah he knows what the top case swap means... or is just terrible with words... which is bourne out with the '2 or not 2' bike sales ad.
EDITED: whats the mark (lever mark?) or gasket gloop on the left hand cyl/head join... well iffy.

Some people get away with mismatched cases and some do not. It’s a gamble I would not be willing to take on a bike at that price. Maybe back in the day to get to work the next week, but not now.
Is it just me or does the seam on the tank look iffy too?

The plastic covers on the right side of the engine look painted over scuffs. Carb lids and fuel tap look dirty.

Yes there are a lot of things that make these bike less than 100% perfect.
I guess it’s just the price versus worth that’s in question? I for one would want to replace the cases as a start.
Big money for someone unable to do this work.
Disappointing for a bike that purports to be standard to have Allen bolts for the side casings, but even the original bolts have not been replated.
That said they are nice bikes, it’s just whether they are worth the money.
I’m in a similar situation selling my F2. I don’t know if the price reflects the current market value, but I do know I think I’ve priced it fairly.

My two pet hates are on both bikes, 350 on the side panels in the wrong place, and why rebuild engines without oil pump hose clips on the carbs, the black ones are ready to pop off. GGrrrr, rant over. Andy.

Black one seems to be missing the trip meter knob as well
