That on the face of it looks a good buy at that price, the engine looked as though it has not been painted so let the bike down I thought.
I expected it to reach £4k.
I expected it to reach £5,000. What went wrong for the seller, is the current economic climate creating a buyers market or did I simply pay far too much for a bike that wasn't as good six years ago?  Could the demand for cash have effected things given that the powers that be seem to be making cash a suspicious entity?

I thought that was Mount Fuji at first glance!

Imagine not cleaning up that rusted up choke lever before taking the picture.

It seems to be threaded without the plate. Whatever, tomorrow it goes into workshop to have a new oil pump seal ( missing from the seal kit I got for the rebuild I had) I'll persuade the mechanic to get me sorted.

This is what threw me, mine are working ok so only if they leak or fail will I change them for more genuine looking ones. This seller specifies 317 mm pin/fork as opposed to 315 mm for the more original looking ones.
The ones I've just fitted are also 315mm pin/fork but I've had to put some washers in for spacers, there was play.  Blimey, this started as humour thread? Maybe it should be transferred!

These are mine are they not an original design?
Beautiful customising! But no not original shocks. Here is Honda's own pic (?) of the model. OK, that is the USA model but see the CMSL diagram....ditto!

My shockers have a chromed shield on the top section - not sure if they are original or have been replaced in the past mine is a 1978(S) plated version.
I had a pair like that on mine when I first got her, but like many other parts they needed changing. This her from the we-sell-classic-bikes site. They are not original no, but if you like them you can get a pair on Ebay. Don't like them myself.

You would like to think they would be able to withstand a knock or two! 🤣🤣
I HOPE SO!

If they keep pushing me, I'm gonna buy a KH750, paint it flourescent green, and ride it round Westrminster until the plugs foul. Every day. With expansion pipes on. Dripping unburnt hydrocarbons and leaving clouds of blue smoke.
Good, you can take over from me if you like. I'm a regular around Parliament square, that top hatted twit Steve Bray knows and hates me!

This is very sad Ted. My condolences to all who loved Morgan.

Much it seems is being made of the fact that today my special oil for evil ancient petrol burning classic motorcycles from the era of unlimited pollution will be delivered to me on an electric vehicle. Are they trying to tell me something?
