I've seen these for sale as one lot before. Some time ago though.
Also FWIW, they all look like '83's despite the listing saying '83 / '84. They all have gold rims etc. One just has '84 seat and tank.
Still good looking bikes  ;D

Hi Tony, i believe one to be an 84 model or part there of as it has a twin plug head on it, also the tank, seat etc. look to be 84.  Peter.

That's interesting, Pete.
Must be an '84 with 83 wheels, suspension and swingarm. Has it got a flat or round slide carby?
I remember asking before and was told at the time he would not separate. Is that still the case?

Tony, i will check out the carby detail in the morning and get back to you. As for selling seperately i will call him and get an answer. Will also chase up engine and frame numbers which you may be able to identify models from. Peter.

Don't go to too much trouble Pete. I'm not that serious at this point unless one was completely an 84 model.
Thanks.
