Has the rare Ohlins shock that's setup for 95kg rider but has never been raced by the owner ???  :o

Looks like an Armor All resto to me! Shiny and scratchy at the same time. Still it seems a sound bike that has everything there for a nice resto down the track. Are these things beasts or are they quite rideable?

Im still just a bit pissed off about the bike I bought off this same seller at the start of this year.
He told me the rear shocks were modified cause the previous owner was a tall rider at 6ft 6.
Get home and the shocks were off a different brand bike and totally worn out.
So be careful when looking at this bike...

Pretty sure I bought a "fully restored" mx400 of the same bloke.
Got it home would not stay in 3rd or 4th, ran like a pig due to lack of main jet.
And its still in peices waiting for assembly after a total crank, gearbox build.  >:( >:( >:(
