Following my rule about "if you haven't touched it or thought lovingly about it in three months, then move it on"...

Stuff you would probably want to know:

1. Its essentially a complete bike, and shouldn't take much work to get up and running.
2. Has no spark - I haven't looked into why, beyond ruling out the spark-plug.
3. Compression seems a bit low, but I have NFI how its supposed to feel with the auto decompressor.
4. Lights and speedo are there, tacho and blinkers missing (I might have a spare tacho).
5. Seat base has been bead blasted and needs some rust repairs. Foam is OK (not great), no cover.
6. Tank has shiny original paint (yellow), but some dents.
7. Very nice original wheels, with shiny spokes.
8. New front tyre (trials uni).
9. Good straight original mudguards (low mount front).
10. All bearings and swing-arm bushes are tight and wobble free.
11. Straight chrome handle bars, which I believe are original.
12. Original switch gear, in apparently good condition.
13. Rear shocks (original thermal flows) need rechroming.
14. Exhaust heat shield/toaster rack is missing.
15. Has original key, which works in ignition, tank, steering lock and seat.

Make me an offer. You probably need to offer less than you think...;)

Bike is in Yass, NSW. Can possibly deliver, blah blah...

I hope to have some photos up in the next couple of days.

So, I finally got around to uploading pics - only to discover that my phone has decided to take thumb-nail sized pics.... >:( (Samsung 701 on NextG gets two thumbs down!).

Anyhow:

The wheel leaning against the bike is the one that comes with it (the one on the bike is just to keep it rolling).



This is the rust in the seat base. I've welded up the smaller holes, this is what remains.

I may not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it.
