Bantam Bushman

[JC]

Anyone know the whereabouts of any Bantam 175 Bushmans?

Trojan Motorcycles in Belmore Sydney had a real good one, orange & white tank.
I thought it was the same one that I stupidly let go around 28 years ago, not sure if they still have it.

your timing isn't too good, probably worth making contact though

Here ya go JC  it not currently fitted with the correct motor , i hauled it out about 10 yrs ago to rebuild it and as usual its still not done . Was running ok anyway  but i thought i would do crank seals and rings .

Only thing missing is the chain guard i will start looking for one 

That  one on Gumtree , the wheeel shouldn't be black, wrong shocks , wrong bars , wrong grips , no muffler , no stickers , no rack but it does have the chain guard and optional centre stand 

Nice bike but why restore it like that  it would have taked bugger all extra work to do it right 

I dont think i will restore mine , just put the motor back in it , find a chain guard and tidy a few bits . i think it should be appreciated with its patina

Thanks Bill. Looks to be in very nice condition.

You don't have any surplus spares you'd consider selling would you?
