Description
I bought this bike in August 25’ but haven’t been able to ride it due to having replacement shoulder joints on both sides, however I have been able to work on it when possible and have made numerous improvements:-
Many of the bolts , nuts etc have been replaced with stainless steel items after painstakingly polishing the heads and greasing.
Seat has been recovered using a quilted vinyl.
Drive chain replaced with a gold one
Stainless chainguard
Headlamp is now led with a halo light for daytime running and the dip beam switched on via a switch inside fairing.
New exhaust pipe ( treated with anti blueing agent) and silencer with detachable baffle.
I have removed the fuel injection system and replaced it with a Mikuni carburettor and S&B air filter supplied ready by Hitchcocks.
The front mudguard stay and heel guards have been stripped of paint and then polished.
Indicators replaced with chrome ones front and back. and many other small items replaced or renewed.
This is my second one of these bikes and in my opinion are fun to ride being reminiscent of 1960’s bikes so I am sure anyone who buys it will enjoy it. I have to sell as I have bought another bike and don’t really have enough space for two bikes sadly.
