Thanks. I first got this bike 30 years ago and rode it for ten years until the crankshaft failed; one of the big ends. I discovered that these cannot be repaired but managed to find two spare engines one of which I robbed for the crank. The bike is now running again and I took it for a ride on our private road. It went really well although it felt really small compared to my CB500/4. The next plan is to order some new brake shoes for the front and a set of wheel bearings.The main thing I want really is a set of shock absorbers and a tool box . The lid fell off many years ago. I also need the bolt which holds on the rear brake lever and the clutch operating mechanism, the original one is worn out and won't adjust properly. Apart from that it should work and go through MOT test.I don't have plans to restore, I think I would need a better starting point as it is in quite a scruffy state.
