Hi,
Cheers mark, the vast marjoraty of the work is done, and just just needs putting to gether, just waiting for the rear wheel to come back from being powdercoated and rebuilt, I had quiet alot done, and got a few new bits, so, its just a matter of getting on with it, the only major bits to do now is getting the tank and mudguards and other plastics painted,
Andy..

They are good bikes.

I had one a few years ago.

I bought it for £550 at an auction selling off MOD equipment. It was still in its original camouflage paint work.

I parked it up one day and could never find it again!
