Oddjob:
Is that a bad base gasket leak Matt, L/H side.

I can't spot the damage to the side panel, couple on Ebay though. Nice new one but in red as well.

No, doesn't appear to have a leak -its partly dirt and some oil/wax protection. It was running OK when put away and has been stored with some oil in the bores. The marks on the exhaust are from the owners father who brought some shopping back in a carrier bag and managed to melt the bag on the header pipe!! The side panel is quite bad but bade is good. I'll try the repair in due course. Will have a shufty at ebay....

I think I will give it a good clean up first and see what I have - I can't complain about the damage as it has been given to me!!

BTW, anyone know what the key looks like for the helmet lock? (or is it the same as the ignition?)

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
That is a very nice looking project Matt - not a box of bits for a change.

Laverdaroo:
That’s ace Matt, I have some sooper dooper panel repair gubbins. Looking forward to having a look at that

Key should be the same type as the ignition on that model.
