MT350

Post by WJP » Sat Jul 09, 2016 11:04 am

HD350 easy project to complete

I have for sale an as released by the army a 1993 MT350 25KL25 . I have all the release paperwork so you would be the first owner upon registration.
Before the army released the bike it looks like they very kindly put in a new engine (late engine number and little sign of use cf to speedometer, by the way the trip does work), front wheel, headlight, cowl and silencer as they have clearly not done many miles.

The bike was sold by auction at Withams in 2008 and has sat in a shed since then.

I have done the harder part of the project and replaced the numerous bits that had gone missing in action between sale and shed and/or needed to be replaced because they were broken or didn't work. Put on a new battery and using the workshop fuel tank got it started and it runs very well, no sprag issues etc.

Not many bad points to list. The main one is that the tank is rather rusty inside, but I have seen a lot worse and I know it can be cleaned out.
Needs a few new indicator bulbs and maybe a flasher unit, otherwise all electrics are working as they should.
I would only rate the front panniers as average/below average condition, but can be easily refreshed with new locks etc.
If I was keeping the bike I would put new braided brake hoses on and also service the front forks with new oil and seals and instal a new side stand bush to take up the slack, not that it doesn't work, rather I like things to work as best they can.

It would make an ideal simple project and a good intro to these bikes. Registration is straight forward and instructions are available on this site.

If the person buying this is a new member then I will include a hard copy of the manual and a service kit ( oil and air filters, cambelt and spark plug).

I would be happy to finish the project and get it an MOT on the frame VIN, if you dont want to do that yourself, subject to an agreed scope/price etc.
I also have a good clean tank complete with army dents to save you the trouble of cleaning and de rusting the tank.

As you can see its complete and in very good condition and not something that comes up very often now.

Looking for £1800 but open to offers over this amount.

Just giving this a bump

The two minor jobs that needed doing are done, the tank is now all de rusted and indicators work (got a new stock of bulbs in, so simple fix). Starts and runs well. Just needs to be registered and your away

Prefer to sell to a member but will be putting it on that site soon as I need the space for my other projects

£1800 ono

Cheers
Will

Hi James

Its was good to see you yesterday. A very warm welcome to the highs and lows of MT ownership, you will be buying another very soon, one to show and one to thrash around on!
The links below should take you to a couple of earlier threads that show you what was involved in getting the two 'Therapy' bikes you saw in the garage looking like they do.

If you need any help feel free to call me, although a look on this forum will answer all your questions. Looking forward to seeing the bike and sorting out a ride to Stanford in the Vale - you will get to know that area well if you have an MT!

Good luck with the DVLA registration

All the best
Cheers
Will
