    Good find. Will be cheap enough to get back on the road, lots of cheap bits in Asia.

    I’m gonna sit on it for a bit complete as it is as I have a few other projects on the go, don’t we all

    but I’m already torn between stock restore, or doing some kind of retrotech thing, like a late model grom engine or maybe an early two stroke

    again it was one of those impulse have to have it moments , as from my knowledge it’s pretty complete for 42 year old bike

    I remember reading on here somewhere some of you wizards have done these up or played with them

    any link to threads of this would be great

    you can get a chinese 140 cc engine or a japanese hot up kit but that is big money.

    Look... its a blue Postie Bike....lol
    Plenty of new repro parts out there in Thailand etc... freight isnt cheap at the moment though.
    Engine will most likely have suffered from no cam chain adjustment (common problem) but other than that they are very simple...
    Did you get the leg shields / fairing (can you call it a fairing?)

    No I didn’t get “the fairing” didn’t have one , but I’d imagine they might be the tough part to find ?
