That was a bargin, they don`t come around like that. You would have to say ( it was a steel ) I hope you can do it justice.

I picked it up from a mate in Central Qld, he has owned it from new and hasn't ridden it since about '88, all original except grips. I replaced the bars as the standard husky bars place your elbows directly under your rib cage.

It needed a new seat cover and the plastics scraped, got some new stickers from pds in springwood.

The chainguided and buffers all need replacing.....all 5 of them.

I will pull the cylinder off today and check it over, then see if we can't get it to bark ;D

Thanks for the pm vmx247.....tried but failed, I can't follow written instructions, I need to be shown then it's easy peasy.

Gotta stop the sea of red in the pre'90 class at all costs. ;D
