That's a very nice looking bike Paddy and sounds nice with the exhaust. Do you have all the original airbox and associated parts?

Thanks Dave. It’s a shame I’m not using it enough.

I haven’t got the air box assembly. It came to me with velocity stacks which looked great but it was a poor runner. Binned them and fitted foam pods and re-jetted. Runs much better now. A pal in Preston had promised me a set once he gets to work on cafeing (not a word I know) his 550 but no idea when that will be?

Laverdaroo has a few sets including lids (this one still has the lid).

Test rides are available.

If interested always happy to haggle.

Stuck it on a well known auction site. Goes live at 12:00.

See if I get any nibbles.
