Hi, so surprisingly quite rare. Just finished restoring a model with and magneto. Very underrated bikes, in fact going by the road tests of the period the early 500 twin was one of the quickest over the 1/4 mile. Vince

My '58 Meteor Minor had a K2F fitted when i first bought it, but i struggled to get a consistent quality spark.
I suspected the windings required renewing, but funds were tight at the time and hence i So swopped over to a cheap second hand DKX2 distributor set up instead - which i found to be a lot more reliable.
