Even though it's a bit of a basket case & I know there's a good arguement to wreck & breathe life into many (Organ transplants) but I think it is worth saving.
From what I can tell most of it's there, numbers match. It is suppose to be a one owner up until recently. (Not that that matters much)
Single front brake but from the parts catalogue the twin brake was an option or maybe just later in the run. (I have spares anyway) The 43mm forks are there with the correct top tripple. Haven't inspected the actual forks but did see a few pitted rust marks up top but still had original boots on. (Stuffed though) Original swingarm bolt missing and a long coach bolt is in it's place.
The expansion chamber is snapped in half & it's sidecover missing. Seat rough, doesn't appear to have any cracks in the frame.
Original guards, front restorable, rear kangaroo edward (Rooted for our OS readers)
I have heard of guys restoring much worse but all in all I think it's salvagable.
The only thing is when do I get the time?
Nathan, I hear you bloke. Way back at the start, just after I bought my YZ250F, I sold an IT175F with rebuilt engine, (Use to run the engine in a 125 frame & try & compete in the 250 class) spare top end rebuild, sh*tload of spares including tank, seat, original front guard, crankcases, electrics, etc. etc. etc. For $1100 dollars because I thought "Why would I ever want a bike like that again?"
More fool me as now I would love to do Vinduros and she would have been the perfect bike for that.
