Not as sought after as LCs, but still attractive to some, this is on sale on the LC Crazy Forum - there is a full rebuild thread on it, and he has gone to town on the thing:-
I’ve finally decided to sell my Kenny Roberts F2.
It’s a lovely bike, but I don’t need 4, so it’s the first one to go. V5 in my name.
It’s a nut and bolt rebuild that’s documented here: rdlccrazy.proboards.com/post/322223/thread
Good points
Total nut and bolt rebuild so no hidden nasties (unlike when I got it).
UK bike. MPH speedo with foam surround intact.
Rebored to 0.75mm and new pistons.
Nice power valves with new genuine seals.
Crank rebuild with new bearings including TZ mains.
Genuine Yamaha seals and head gasket.
Mint Microns, with improved stubs (originals included).
Powder coated frame and swingarm (and many other parts).
Every bush and seal replaced in swingarm.
New YYS rear shock.
New wheel bearings and seals.
Good Avon tyres (4mm tread).
Good disks.
New chain and sprockets.
Triumph calipers with mint pistons, new powerhouse seals, new sintered pads and the logo machined off.
Rear caliper with mint pistons and powerhouse seals.
New braided hoses (stainless ends with carbon look wrap).
Forks have been rechromed and fitted with cartridge emulators and new springs and genuine seals and bushes.
Fork brace (black anodised billet with Yamaha logo).
Rare 51k aluminium clipons raising the bars 1” for easier riding (originals included - in photo below).
Switchgear refurbished (looks new).
Really nice un-cut loom with the exception of one of Rob’s replacement blade fuse boxes.
Really good condition tank.
Lovely Kennedy Roberts paint in 2k. Design is a mixture of paint and decals. No broken lugs. Either mint or professionally repaired. All OEM panels.
Lots and lots of 1 off machined spacers and parts. Have to be seen to appreciate how many.
Centre stand and side stand retained.
NOS plastics fitted, including infills, right side case plastics, rear mudguard, number plate holder etc.
NOS throttle cable.
Years MOT.
Bad points
Pattern indicators (new).

Pattern mirrors (new) that vibrate on tick over (fine when riding).
Numbers don’t match but are clear and untampered.
Not 1 key fits all.
£6k reduced to £5,750.
