Couldn't help myself
« on: October 28, 2015, 09:58:38 AM »
Picked this up the earlier this week
To be honest I was going to use it as a parts bike? For another k0  project that I may take on.
I just can't do it.
Other than the fact it turned up with 6months mot it runs like a dream albeit abit smokey on no1
Pipes are very good . wheels have been painted but im assured chrome is good. It was the guys daily runner for 3years and he done it so chrome didn't perish.
Think I will insure and tax then run it around for abit

Nice find, certainly too good to use for a parts bike, get out and ride it, smoking from number 1 may be a carb issue if you're lucky.

Looks good, give it a good thrash and the smoke may clear ;)
