turbo arrival..gulp

#1 PostAuthor: Markw » Sun May 10, 2015 5:22 pm

ok turbo"s and a like have been plaguing me from a my teens, the mystic ..power and look of them has always been a goal.
i had looked at my turbo kits and the associated work and thought better of it, and the owner of my previous bike had this little number for sale..Rob did a generous p/x deal including a set of custom made twin pegs just because i mentioned a passenger in passing..a true gent.
well its here and frightening everyone out for the garage as we speak.
started its recommissioning today , carb clean, tank flush oil check and new battery and bugger me if it didnt start.
wheeled her out and foolishly thought a trip up the road would be in order..sorry to say the clutch is next though as it has been standing a while and isnt engaging..or is ..anyway it stalls when i put it in gear lol..
no doubt this will be a fairly long journey of discovery..but nowhere near as long as converting one from scratch
