I've been bending a friends ear for a few years to sell me his and he finally caved in last September, he has 2 or 3 others now anyway.
Said friend had done on the chassis/paintwork some years back but the engine and items such as the brakes where untouched , after 35 years, looking their age.
As those that own one will know, some parts for these are hard to find and fetch just ridiculous money, some NOS items had to come from the states and Germany but engine parts availability is pretty good, even so, with lockdown(s) , much of it took a while to arrive.
Over the last coupe of months I had the engine refinished and built it up again with all new Gen Yam bearings, gaskets , clutch plates, fasteners and seals, all the old rubber lines replaced for new, new cables etc etc..Things like new grips, chain , chain guard, fasteners and the engine have really lifted the whole thing.
I also fitted the aftermarket pipe on it which sounds great! It'll do 65MPH downhill with me on it and 60 on the flat, ill be taking it to some meets this year for certain anyway, its far more comfortable to ride than my Ducati!
