Just start it. It'll be fine. If you are real keen, you can pretty much do what Hopper suggests by taking the exhausts off and peering with a torch/feeling with your fingers. Rebuild is always a good idea on anything that age though. Www.classicracereplicas.com and to a lesser degree myself are your...

Looking from front of bike

Green in middle, black right ang green/blue to left.

I'll have the upper off mine at the weekend to put the bits back I removed to copy. I'll post a pic

As seen elsewhere, swingarm protector chain sliders are now available again. £50 posted in the UK.

Provided to original forks are in good nick, the front end is fine.. Obviously it ain't as good as modern gear, but I've not felt the need to do anything further to mine, nor is it mismatched to the Ohlins rear.

I think tyres and wheels are a much bigger limiting factor.

The originals were painted white. The decal was applied with mask, yellow painted and the mask removed. I have original decals but they are unusable. The originals were printed with metallic ink which you can't do digitally. Fox Transfers in the UK might be able to do it if you ask nicely as they st...

Which is why it is usually cheaper to get a good one than restore a basket case.

Let's not forget, convicted criminal, 30 charges ffs, had to be extradited because he ran away... All pre internet.... Charming chap. So yeah, we're safe, but I chose not to associate with these kind of people.

Depends on your perspective I guess. But they are bloody expensive I will grant you. Give KAIS a call and see what they would charge now.

Or see what Ian Wright can sell you.

I'm not fookin joking either

I had a Hagon unit on mine. It was OK, but needed regular overhaul. I couldn't add remote preload adjuster so you couldn't adjust the preload which was a real pita. I didn't fancy spending more money on cheap shocks, and after some horrible wobbles at the Verandah one TT, I had a custom Ohlins done ...

Might be worth it on a 500 conversion. With heavier clutch springs

Mirrors are wrong for any market. I do make replicas of the real thing.

Yup, that's me. I make a range of stuff. Once it is on the bike, you won't notice any difference.
