I took some photos this morning. This is the only one that worked out:



Shows bead-blasted top end, new fork seals, blasted and painted air box, battery box, top triple clamp, brake torque rod, seat brackets and some other bits. Also spotless (inside and out) carby.

A bad photo of the spares bike:

and the forks from it:

Still got this, getting very keen to see it gone.

Includes third bike: 73 model, unfinsihed race bike. Has TM75 tank, CR80 seat, fork extenders, TM125 front wheel & brake with brand new tyre, and the frame has had the extra 'doo hickeys' removed.

Also includes another engine (four in total), and some extra road gear.

$500 for the lot, or make me an offer.

Will seperate.

All three bikes can be runners with a bit of time - a day's work would easily turn all three of them into rideable bikes.
(That's my next stop: Get 'em up and running and sell them off as runners for considerably more money.)

Bike #1 needs top end, carby, electrics and airbox refitted.

Bike #2's motor is all ready to go, but needs forks, wheels, seat, tank, handlebars refitted (only removed for storage).

The race bike is basically just a rolling frame, but its motor is still complete with accessories (throttle assembly still attached to the motor, for example), so its a much smaller job than it first appears.

Sold yesterday, Pokey.

Still got the race bike, still happy to sell it, but other two have gone (and I don't mind if I 'get stuck' with it, and I end up finishing it).
