Wow. A blast from the past there. Used to go there on a Saturday afternoon just to look at Laverdas, T Tridents, Commandos etc, etc blasting up and down the street. We were riding Bantams and dreamt ' One Day...'

I have sold a bike in here, the R90s replica in my signature, got a reasonable price for it but less than Fowler’s offered in PX against a KTM.
Also sold a CCM as well.
What really sells bikes is a bunch of good clear closeup photos, so that people can see that they are not being sold a bunch of Corroded shite.
Who did the twin plug job on the 90/6? Jim Cray is based in Kent and his twin plug engines are a good improvement over standard.
A good 90/6 should be north of £5k, most of the bad ones have been hipsterised and so are worth little.

Yes, Cray Engineering did the heads.
I have bought bikes 🏍 from this site and as long as they are realistically priced they will sell well on this site. Unfortunately there are a small number of bigoted men on here who don’t respect the views and opinions of others and speak in a rude and derogatory way. I have bought two beautiful airheads from this site and been directed to other bikes by members. Finally members provide invaluable information which would be almost impossible to get anywhere else. Long may this site continue selling machines and helping out enthusiast like yourself and myself.
Just avoid Florence (John Stone) he's a grade 'A' crook..........................and I can back that statement up!
Now you have made that statement we all need to know the details. Personally I always preferred Dylan anyway.
That’s worth putting in your advert, Jim’s ‘stage one’ twin plug jobs are very worth having, especially if he set the Squish band clearance at the same time.

The invoice just says Gas Flowing - Fast Road as well as the twin plug machining, new guides, new exhaust valve seats (unleaded), cut inlet valve seats, new springs.

Jim’s been twin plugging BMWs since whenever, and the proof is in the riding, it’s much easier to do nowadays as with the choice of aftermarket ignitions, altering the ignition timing is not the Pfaff that it used to be.

Looks like a nice example of a usable bike.
