Sold 1982 R80g/s “street sleeper”😎

[mikeyboy]

Toe in the water as it’s not quite finished.
I’m waiting for the wheels to come back from “ Kev the wheel”.
I bought this as a runner with a death rattle from the timing chain.
The short motor has been fully rebuilt with new main bearings,big ends,crank sprocket and full timing chain set.
The barrels/ pistons are 1000cc with new rings,and stainless push rod tubes.
It has big valve 1000 cc heads with hard unleaded exhaust seats,new guides,valves,springs and collets.
Finished off with new “ peanut” covers.
Anything not replaced ,you can rest assured is in very good order.
The carbs are 40mm bings to complement the heads and barrels ,which will give a 40% uplift in power taking it to @70 hp.

It’s also a kick start box,though at this time I don’t have a lever.

Looks a cracker , Mike , as are all your bikes, and I should know having sampled the quality of your work.
Much better value than a new non-descript GS piled with electronic gubbins just waiting to go wrong .

Kind comments,thank you
I think this bike is going to great.
The power uplift will make it a joy to ride.
As with all of my bikes,I build them the way I’d build a “keeper,”

It’s a mental illness I recon,
Every bike I build ,i think I’ll keep it!
Then the next project pops up,something that needs “saving”

You don’t want to see the next unfortunate thing
