Latest project (get ready for lockdown 2). Already identified some horrors although to be fair I knew by the photos that this bike was needing a lot of attention. Any help or comments welcome. Skip Hire! 😂😂😂

A few more.

See silicon sealant on head oil leak! What a good idea! Saves on spending on gaskets and seals.😂 clutch stuck, throttle stuck, Caliper stuck, good chance looking at wiring this loom will be fried, maybe not will strip off tape and see sometime in the future. The initial plan will be to get it running to assess the condition of engine.

Nice 🤔🤔🤔🤔

Looks good to me. Drill the top yoke and get a few cable ties round there, and it will be good to go. I mean...it's still held on the other side ( isn't it???? )
Wiring loom needs a coule more twists to get it right, and a big wad of gaffa tape on top to hide it. I mean...easy to trace wiring problems when all the inner is exposed innit. Just watch for sparks!
Still....at least it's not rusty ;)

Previous owner would have paid good money for tips like that. 😂

That should keep you off the streets and away from the nasty virus for quite some time.

Two flasher units ??

Love the side stand, very ornate.
-
Could be available shortly!

Don’t think this is supposed to swivel?
It has been there 47 years! The leads are all very poor condition.
-
Some very sad looking butchery, as far as I can see to accommodate some longer non standard hand grips.
-
Boy that's ugly
Cheers

Yes Dennis I agree! If the internals and wiring is ok I will consider repairing as I would be painting anyway.

Well after a few days off and on of “test track and trace” and sorting some rather poor electrical mods, I plucked up the courage to connect battery, all seemed to be OK except none of the idiot lights worked all suffering a bit of corrosion in bulb holders. But after getting lights working (mainly oil pressure) working, starter solenoid and replacement cheapo rectifier fitted, I thought let’s give it a go! Temp fuel tank set up with fuel pouring from the carbs I thought I’ve came this far let’s try anyway, with a couple of kicks she fired up and ran pretty good oil light went out pretty quick. Wasn’t expecting it to be that easy. These things just want to run. Next job carbs off.
-
It's nice when that happens

Nice when a plan comes together.
-
Yes quite chuffed it ran,decided to remove carbs to sort out stuck floats etc, I’m thinking this is remarkable it ran at all. What’s with the green gu?
-
Can I just add that these are doddle to remove compared to the 550.
