Hi
« on: July 16, 2010, 07:48:08 PM »
Hi, been reading posts on this site for a while now and been taking note of advice and tips, so thought i'd better introduce myself...

I bought this 400/4 from a nice old guy in hartlepool who'd bought it in 2003 (just after it was imported from holland), and had left it standing since. Its much worse than it first looks...missing engine mount bolts, missing spokes... snapped off cam chain adjuster bolt etc etc.

The plan is not to go mad but to clean and tidy it to a roadworthy condition...and maybe give it a light cafe racer makeover. it'll keep me out of mischief in the evenings!

Steve
