Or 99% complete. Only 70,000 parts on a bike, so not that many missing  ???

Thats the same as the 400 four in the Glasgow Transport museum, its been there for years but unfortunately the silencer is rotting and they put all the bikes on a stupid wall  when they moved to the new (Smaller ) building a few years ago.

Totally a different 400, the one at Slivers is a USA unit  ;)

I didnt mean it was the same model of bike I meant it had a duff silencer with sitting about Ive never really taken that much notice of the differences from different countries, I thought they were all Japanese.

The difference is: in that museum the exhaust rotted with the time but at DS he put a a bike with a rotted exhaust into the museum.
cheers, Uli

This is what mine looks like after being stood in POs garage for 10 years. Apparently like new when it went in there.

Unfortunately unlike the old 2 strokes full of oil they rot from the inside out by the look of it.
