some interesting differences on the new bikes then.
Funny thing on the end of the side stand
the lower chain guard
dual rated single springs rather than 2 springs with different rates on the rear
different head lamp cowel, is the 'dimple' in the sides holding the headlamp itself??
decompressor
Different tail pipe, if its the same as one on ebay it looks like the normal one with a supertrapp shoved inside an extra bit tacked on the end.

Wow you found my old pictures.
The Round Headlight is French. You want it, you can have it.
I've stripped the Front End, going back to original now.

That's a Rubber Extension, makes it easy to pull down the side stand while on the bike.
No Center Stand.

Yes, our Headlamps fit inside Not mounted to the outside.
SIMON are you watching?

decompressor
No decompressor.

Needed to pass our Clean Air Standards.

Good eyes Pete.

The second bike, the Bad.
Now has Front Pannier Racks too.
And I broke the Windshield this winter.

Thanks for digging up my old photos.
