Pictures says it all. This particular machine was bought in 2016 in not-to-good condition by her former owner. She had been used as a motocross bike on a farm and was in need of a thorough restoration. This took about two years and when the machine was ready for the road again she was used extensively for two-up touring, one of the longer trips being a tour across Portugal. The CS performed splendidly and never let her owner down. The Smiths speedo shows 8958 km, that’s what the Ajay covered after having got her new lease of life. Lately the cylinder has been bored and a new standard Hepolite piston has been fitted. There are no problems with wet sumping so the oil pump clearances are excellent. This road-registered handsome AJS is fully ready for new touring adventures with her new owner.
