I bought it on EBay as boxes of bits for £850.
It’s a 1993 with 1000km on the clock.
As you can see there was lots of bits.
It came with plenty of new bits.
Plastic fuel tank
Side panels
Carb rubbers
Filters
Rear spindle
Swinging arm
Headlamp housing
Since it was already in bits I thought it was a good idea to give the frame and engine a coat of 2pack primer and gloss.
I went for the black frame with green plastic look.
Once all the parts were painted the assembly started.
This was not that easy even with the excellent manuals, as I didn’t take it to bits.
The trial and error method was used mainly.
Once the rolling chassis was complete I started the wiring.
Fortunately the loom was all in very good condition and obvious where everything went.
I was surprised to find everything worked except it wouldn’t start.
This problem was solved using the workshop manual fault finding table and switching the engine stop switch on.
Not much left to now for the MOT.
The seat is away for re-upholstery to get 2" trimmed off so I can put my feet on the ground.
The brakes need sorting.
Back brake needs bleeding.
Front brake needs connecting at the master cylinder.
I’m not sure of the pipe routing so would appreciate advice and pic’s.
That’s about it its took me about a week to get this far and hopefully another day to get it ready for the MOT.
I hope to have it taxed for October and then let her loose on the North York moors.
