Thank you for you reply. The tank has not been seen to as yet. I have not decided which way to go, restore or leave as is.

Thought it about time I replied to this thread. Bike is now finished, back in its original Matching numbers frame. Bike will be up for sale in the coming weeks.

Would you have any idea where I could find any information out? Who bought the business etc? Many thanks for the reply.

I have recently put my bike back to original spec and now left with what I believe to be a Sammy Miller frame? Can anyone advise on a rough figure this would be worth? Bike is a 1981 T350, the frame has 645 stamped in usual position.

Thank you very much for your advice. My idea is to have the rear hoop replaced and then powdercoated to bring the bike back to original.

I purchased a Sherpa last year with the intention of restoring as I have done a fair few in the past. I am just looking for a little advice as to the definite year/model as there are a few things puzzling me. To start off the bike is sat in a frame believed to be SM but can not confirm, the original frame is supplied which is numbers matching to the engine. Engine JM-19906685-A Frame JB-19906685-A The Number of the frame the bike is currently sat in is 685, no letters just the three numbers and looks to be chrome. Also the bike has what I believe to be an airbox mod which was throwing me off the year and model etc. After some research there seems to a airbox you can fit off a 151/138 model, enables the bike to breathe better. Can anyone shed any light? See attached photos. Thanks sam.
