UK Pete:
Ash, yes i  may ring him, although i am now considering keeping it all as is , it is just beautifull with all its 40 year  battle scars
Den I have used the halfords petrol resistant laquor, and it works although a little hard to work with being a rattle can, i wonder if you can buy the petrol resistant laquor by the liter for mixing and spraying with a gun?

UK Pete:
Ohh forgot to mention i took the bike for an MOT yesterday, i had not touched it as i felt the previous owner( chris r) had done a good job of preparing the bike, anyway the bike went straight through, the examiner admired its condition and praised it also mentioning what i was thinking as to leaving it well alone and enjoying it as a unrestored beauty.
I also Insured it for

AshimotoK0:
You are probably right Pete just keep it as standard with its patina and enjoy it. Glad it worked out OK with Chris - I wish there were more people like him on Ebay. Turns out both Chris and I got our hard to find bargain 400/4 NOS bits off David Silver as a result of his first ever advert in MCN in 1986 when he got his hands on a container load of obsolete Honda bits. BTW hope the missus didn't give you too much grief about the bike Invoice

cheers

Ash
