I would like views and comments on this F1>>   http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/161449210360?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT 
Never Restored one before so would not mind having a go. Engine is no problem but, what parts are wrong and non-original.
Love to hear you views members :)

Looks to be fairly standard apart from the motad silencer and the fork gaiters, should restore nicely  ;) cheers Mick.

Mick, should it have badges on the panels and a seat strap? I did pick a Yellow one up a couple of years ago but, someone offered me a good price on it. I can recall that the yellow one had a strap and badges. Or am i thinking of another bike.

Should def have a seat strap - that is an aftermarket seat. Side covers look to have been repainted - oem is a gunmetal / grey satin / matte finish. Pretty sure I have a spare unrestored side cover if you need to match. Should have the badges on the side covers. Other than that and the motad looks pretty stock...lovely bikes to ride.

I missed out the word 'cover' ha ha. Profile looks right compared to the original seat - probably just an aftermarket cover I imagine - but impossible to tell without seeing the underside...

Are you telling me Clark Kent that you do not have your x-ray specks on tonight ;D
Cheers for that. Mailed the seller but hes not much of a salesman. Said, he was off to bed.

Stock except for exhaust and seat, as others have said.  Too much money, IMHO.  There was a pretty coherent US-import F2 (F3, actually, to judge by the italicised side panel badges) on eBay just recently for £1600 and I don't think it sold.  Much, much better bike, if slightly harder to get parts for.

EDIT:  here's the link to the F2/F3.

If you do make the make the purchase I have a standard seat I could let go…  it's from a 76 F1 US import but I don't think that would be an issue...
