oh hell i've done it again!
mickwinf:
Well spent the afternoon trying to start it, was very difficult but eventually it started on two cyls, after lots more tinkering three, then at last on all four! actually sounds lots better than it looks! Did not get time to clean it but noticed a few dodgy items which I don't think should have passed an MOT, eg bent spokes and worn back brake. ah well at least it goes!
mickwinf:
Its looking better now, cleaned up the frame and replaced the wheels and rear mudguard and indicators with better ones. Will make a decent bike without spending much money!
andy120t:
...if the rusty old rear mudguard id destined for the skip - can I have it....or is it beyond redemption..? (I'm not yet sure if my 650 will have one, so just looking for something I can chop around / paint with hammerite as a starting point!)
LesterPiglet:
I have a rear guard that is fairly good. It's rusted up under where it meets the frame but it's perfectly usable.
mickwinf:
The old guard was a horrible bodged up non standard thing, if its any use you are welcome to it!
