Well that's about it for a while now. From here on I will be busy stripping the bike, cleaning, carrying out remedial work, repair work and searching for cheap bits-n-bats. I want to refurbish this bike on a budget (for a change) instead of desperately hunting down NOS Parts and going way overboard like a silly sod.
Having inspected the engine, I'm pleased to report that it's in great condition. Suppose that's to be expected considering it's only done 20 thousand miles. It runs well and there's no noisy bits! Looks a bloody mess on the outside, but all's well on the inside.
See ya soon!
