update on progress, have renewed the headstock bearings and rebuilt the front calipers, master cyl is clean and waiting for a rebuild kit to arrive. Electrics are a mess, lots of extra wires and bad bodges so some rewiring to do
mickwinf:
it lives! finally had a few hours working on the bike, replaced the rad and refilled with coolant, changed the oil and filter etc, (cam belts had already been done). These bikes are a bit tricky to work on, not much room to work around the carb area, but I used a remote petrol tank to make sure I had clean petrol and after a bit of cranking and some carb cleaner down the intake it fired up with a few spits and misfires and a very loud exhaust as it has a home made 4 into 1 system on at the moment. Lots more to do but a happy chappy.

Great feeling when they burst into life, good work Mick!
Green1:
Great news being a big old girl you would think there would be plenty of room.
A bit of spit and polish she will be back on the road. ;)

That's great news, it's always good to hear some old bike that hasn't run for years roar into life.
