TYPO,,
after the wash cycle, then the spin and rinse, what came out of the wash is steptoe ended up with it.

it looks a bit worse than it actually is, the internals of the engine {pots} are squeaky clean, looking down through the oil fill hole the clutch still has clean yellow ends with a high degree of shine on the basket and what can be seen of the molding of the motor,, meaning it hasn,t had time to be stained by to much old/burnt engine oil
I,m confident of the low klm,  it also is a matched numbers bike, but it will come apart anyway,,,,,,,,,,, of course,,,,,,,,  if nothing else than a strip, clean, paint, a couple of internal tweeks and re-assemble for my own piece of mind
this will be the the outfit build bike now, yet to decide what will become of the "E" it is a 2H9 with a 5N5 motor

this is a 3X1, to do what I,m going to do with it {excuse my ignorance} what colour scheme/s did this model come in, or was it still the macho maroon
