mickmetcalfe Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 (edited) Have you still got yours Mick? Yep, still got it tucked away under a dust sheet. Dont know what to do with it really as I cant see me riding it again any time soon and I could do with the extra space. By the way gixxer7500, some spares are still available from Brian Griffiths in Hereford. There is a phone number for him on another recent thread in the aircooled monos forum.

gixxer7500_0 Posted August 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 hi millerme yes this was the bike from tonypandy !!!!! unfortunatly i live in manchester so could not view the bike but thought it was worth the risk but now i have stripped it i have found that nearly everything needs replacement and the pitted forks were never mentioned in the advert . You made a wise choice staying away when i stripped the engine i found bits of smashed piston skirt everywhere so the head is ruined and barell needs re-linning . I have phoned brian and he has been very helpfull and is waiting for pistons and other parts to be made so fingers crossed i can get the parts but i bet im looking at Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
