I'm surprised at that as Millie is fairly quite. Now the big question, was it under a grand?
I will do a final tally later but it was just over a grand because Graham chose to buy new wheels for it instead of using a set of used ones he had here. But, it wasn't very far over a grand.

I have to say the finished bike looks brilliant to my amateur eye.
A keeper is it then?

Never really got around to posting on here and sadly no longer have my 400/4. I do however pop in often and enjoy the posts and banter. This bike looks great Graham and Julie. I do have a pair of period mirrors if you would be able to use them. Quite happy to donate them and the postage to the project. Just shout if any use to you and it will clear another small space on the shelf

Best wishes

Not much progress this week as still waiting on the painter to do the frame and all metal black parts.

Had I little time so, stripped the speedo drive down and rebuild. If no one have ever seen one of these apart before and how many parts to it but, only one part number.

Where are those two small washers from?
