I’d forgotten all about this, kept in the corner at the back of my least visited storage units that I’ve got to vacate. It was going to be a project when I bought, I think in 2007/8, as a non runner at a salvage auction. I got it running but can’t remember if the gearbox or shaft is fecked, also seems very oily around the final drive... I’ve used it for bits a couple times in the past... wtf do I do with it now :D

I also found my own old GS, used at a couple of BAKERMAN’s hograosts in the distant past - only 5000 miles, and to think I once had it up for sale on the forum as I just didn’t use it. Bloke came to buy it when it had only 4K miles on it, told me how he was going modify it and turn it into a hipsters dream... so I refused to sell it to him and decided to keep it...,, I’ll get it mot’d next week and start using it again.

Both of those are in better nick than a 1250. :D
 
I also found an old R80/7, 1978, 14k miles I bought in 1990... had an RS fairing fitted that was damaged, I took the fairing off and, well, that was all I got around to doing :D no pictures yet as it’s stuck in the corner a bit too well at the moment :D
 
And as Jimmy Cricket used to say “there’s more” :D

I would be interested in it, I want to build a rally bike with it, if you would sell it ?
Thanks.
 
If you decide to part out the “unfinished” GS, can I please put in a bid for the front end (wheel, forks, yolks), so I can update my ST.

Thanks

Bubb
 
I expect a supercharged 500 to be unearthed any day soon, or maybe there is a Harrison watch lurking? :D
 
ive found a tenner in my pocket once .........................but sadly not a GS in the shed :D



are you enjoying this decluttering your doing ?
