Early KO to chat about chaps and chapesses??

<< < (2/4) > >>

AshimotoK0:
Speaking with Kettle 738 about it we both agree that bike will cost quite a bit to restore .. corroded rare rear guard .. seat need attention... no pipes etc. Still a rare bike though and early UK so should be very desirable once restored.

AshimotoK0:
Got this back from Seller ...told you he seemed a decent chap.

"Hi Ashley.

Thank you for getting in touch, I do remember us talking. A good day.
Your obviously absolutely right.
Was this first batch imported from Canada making them Sand Cast?
Need to update my advert accordingly.
Would very much appreciate your input.
Kind regards
Kevin
(Already questioning whether I should be selling it, but I know I will not get around to rebuilding it)".

AshimotoK0:
I  invited the seller (Kevin)  to join us on here an says he will. He is keen to follow the restoration that the buyer does on it.
Perhaps we can talk him into keeping it !  ;D

Trigger:
Side panel is a easy one. Parts like switch gear, top and bottom yoke, side and centre stand, and all the little bits are £££  ;)

I think it is over priced with the amount of work and parts missing or otherwise I would of already bought it.

JamesH:
Will be interesting to see if this sells.

I own the two UK bikes immediately either side of this - 1015278 and 1015280 (this is the one in between). So I know the VIN/Engine numbers are bang-on.

It will be an expensive bike to restore (£10k minimum I would say to do it properly). But could be a great project for someone.
