Right - I finally have made a move on the outfit - you may remember it in this guise -
Well it's mine now and the fairing has gone to a good home and the hard luggage is off also
I put fuel to it last weekend and fired it up - didn't run well at all - blew smoke etc - I discovered that the earth strap was v loose, so I bit the bullet, removed/cleaned the carbs, airbox, battery - I will be putting standard wheels on the bike albeit with a car tyre on the rear (Excelsior 450/17 Passenger tyre - it's in the mail) I had the old tyres removed and dropped the rims to be wet blasted, ordering new bearings - wont have the rims back for a couple of weeks -I have some good rotors here in stock but will see if I can source some drilled rotors. I have a pretty good 4-2-1 exhaust here that I need to do a deal with the owner on.......
My plan is to get the machine running/registered and take it down to Dave Kellett to sort the outfit part - more later
