You're damn right matey the titanium sprocket carrier pins he made me are a work of art and he's only up the road... God help me !
I've asked myself that very question Steve, who knows... The guy I bought it from had it regularly serviced, but just didn't clean it. he'd run it through a few winters and the salt's just attacked everything. Internally though it's as sound as a pound, the bores and pistons are immaculate and the clutch plates look to be the newest thing on it. The basket's a bit rusty but I have a spare I can use. Infact that's one of the main reasons I decided to buy the bike, all the bits that were either missing or knacked I had, so it was a bit of a no brainer.
I have George, The old SS is all rebuilt after last years cracked frame re-build and the SS/IE is still a completed rolling chassis waiting for me to get some body work on it. I'm just waiting for a carbon nose cone to arrive from the states so I can finally get the 'ugly one' sorted. It's the painting that's holding me up as I have to do it outside, now the weather's getting better I should be able to get it all done
