    Picked this up recently and intentions are to get it roadworthy for a bit of fun around local roads next summer. Depending how it goes I may restore it. At the moment it needs a new seat cover (which is why the seat is off) plus the front brake master cylinder and a few bits and bobs. The exhausts seem to have been shortened at some point in the bikes past too with some questionable welding employed but they are gas tight and sound quite good. The electrics are playing up a little but I think it's down to this multi connector socket that is corroded.
    Its quite rough as you can see but the motor is really sweet. If anyone has a link to a parts manual it would be helpful. IMG_2448.JPG IMG_2449.JPG IMG_2450.JPG IMG_2452.JPG IMG_2454.JPG IMG_2456.JPG IMG_2458.JPG

    Looks pretty good, just needs a bit of a clean up and polish.
    They should be a good thing to ride, light with a fairly punchy engine and easy to throw around. When your on the road, let us know what they are like to ride. :thumb_ups:

    Thanks Murdo, as soon as she is roadworthy and the weather in this part of the world improves I will give an update
