just noticed it looks alot better in the pics than it did in flesh and someone had took a paint brush and painted the frame and swingarm evileye

heres how it sits now

stripped it down to bare frame and had it powdercoated then rebuilt it, replacing everything that was siezed or ****ed and cleaned all the rest up. replaced eveything rusty on the bike and new bolts all round.

Talking about bargains are we?
I paid £300 for my 97, and it came with a DEP expansion and a BIG ONE end can wink
I had blown the water pump seal and head gasket twice within the first week but it was still a bargain!! Really..? I think I sold it within a month purely because it was that unreliable, I changed the head gasket and by the time the next owner took it home (literally 2 minutes ride) it had blown!


None the less, I'm certain I have a rear spindle in the shed, them snails are still on it if I remember correctly..
Make me an offer and I'll try and get a photo of it, came off a field bike and it's been in the shed a while so won't be perfect, I'll have a look tomorrow

plans now are a full engine rebuild after my crank seal went

had a look at the cylinder and compared it to the sp barrel and crankcases and going to port it. its proper restricted compared to sp barrel and the cases dont match up to barrel either.

 

this is kinda what im going for
