how's it going m8 ??have you washed all the shit off it yet??
I washed off the mud and it looks a lot better now. It starts and runs perfectly and I really wish I had the time and money to get her back on the road. Unfortunately, I have neither of those things, nor do I have the experience or expertise to do the work myself. So, it kills me to do this, but I'm putting her up for sale as a restoration project for someone else.
A friend suggested making it a street-fighter bike or getting chinese fairings, which would be cool for somebody. Or it could be sold for spares. Like I said, the engine runs fine, the frame is straight (i got a professional mechanic to check for structural integrity), the tank is spotless, the seat is untouched, the forks are undamaged and the whole rear and left hand side of the bike is undamaged.
I'm going to go back to Crawley, West Sussex (I'm storing it in my in-laws stables) at the weekend to take proper photos of the whole bike (rather than just the damaged bits) and then I'll put them all up with a proper description on the sale section of here. If, in the meantime, someone is interested in taking the bike on for spares or as a project then please get in touch on here. I only just put 12 months tax and mot on and have done a recent oil, filter, air filter and spark plug service. It's also got a new uprated cct from jaws, new battery and new uprated reg/rec. 35k miles on the clocks (which still work).
Because of all this, I'm looking for ?1k ono and I've been informed that this is a very fair price.
Thanks all, Ov
