That’s a great bike, well done that man. What’s the white VFR wheel off in the rear if shot.?

My VFRomeyer went off soon as I saw it

Nice workshop too,

Ken, sorry I was havering, it was the 750 that was minus the 26mm wrench. Yes Dave nice thought to have multiple projects on the go but I think one moneypit at a time is manageable 😂. Now as for importer of the bike, I don’t know if it was the guy that I bought off imported it or not. But I bought the bike with it already registered as a historic vehicle with V5C, so never saw the NOVA. Bit of a mystery really because it had a newish Motobatt battery fitted a new pattern seat, must have been with a view to running it. There was some rather foul smelling stuff that came out of the carb float bowls when I coaxed the float bowl drain screws open. Also the fuel tank (which looks reasonable in the inside) has what appears to be diesel in the bottom of it but may turn out to be old rotten fuel. I managed to get it running today after a little bit of coaxing with fuel leaks and seepages, there was a blast of soot and rust from the rear and it ran without any concerning noises or rattles. Maybe a miracle it ran at all, cos boy are these carbs crying out for attention. I might be wrong but I don’t think this thing has run for a while.

😂😂 Roo you wouldn’t want that on the back of your VFR, it’s a Lister Junior fly wheel. Yeh was going to paint it but all I had was silver Hammerite.
