The extra touches / like the CR forks sliders so you get a full 7 inch ( or later model XL ones ) You can save 10 kilo's by fitting a CR wheel and rear brake setup. yup 10 kilo's. The thortle cable is badly done and yes you will catch it on your knee ,Stuff like that, He has done a good job one the side covers.

What about this 350 Brendan,It looks OK :)    http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Pre-1975-Honda-XL-350-XL-350-XL350-Classic-Scramble-Motorbike-/221507623059?pt=AU_Motorcycles&hash=item3392e21893&_uhb=1

Just got off the phone with him ;) Sounds like not a bad thing, blew the pics up and had a closer look, its only average in finish but its confirmed the donk is a Les Bowen built fire breather….pity he wants to let the auction run as I'm sure it'll end up at a price I'm not prepared to pay! :'(

I was referring to the 250 not the 350, I have none about the 350 for years, justin owns it, now the 250, was built by richard who also lived in Apollo Bay, and sold them both
years ago, they just look familiar.

sorry Dave (its usually me that misses the fine print!)

mate has a very original motosport he is half keen on moving on. he has had it since new.

still got the stock pipe on it.

tank is a bit nasty after his brother hit a car in Melb. two dints on the top in particular look unpleasant... :o

its got a complete 350 front on it after the original forks were bent.

I think its still farm reg'd.
