Re-incarnation!

Wheels rebuilt.......................finally, Gearbox rebuilt, Cibie headlight, proper front brake, ...............................and a repaint..................and ala Sycomoto no vinyl or stick on badges...............all painted!.............................. And not forgetting Vern's much admired top box!

Fantastic job on that bike Duncan, photos just don't do it justice I'd say, this one is a cracker though.

Your paint guy knows his stuff, the hand painted 'badges" and "decals" are a work of art in themselves, don't know how he did it but I'm well impressed.

I should have posted these up ages ago, but I am a lazy git. I bought this just over a year ago and have been doing a few bits that needed attention.




Over last winter I had the exhaust stubs repaired and while I was at it, I did a top end overhaul.







I also splashed out on stainless headers and collector box.




I have also replaced a load of seals to stop oil leaks, and given it a new set of tyres.

Sorry about the crap pics. I don't know why the top of the photo's are pink, must be something wrong with the camera.

On the plan

• USD forks

This is my R65 G/S it's got the 48 bhp engine,runs very well, it could do with a rev counter other than that it suits me fine.

Ok, I know it doesn't look like it's all there but all the rest of the bike is tucked away in my garage. Only 51k and it rides rather nice I'll make my list of questions now
