Restoration

Here you can post a picture of you and your bike. Also where you are located and if you are prepared to give local kettle owners some of your time and experience.Please don't do discussions here just some facts about yourself. This was Glens idea! Thanks BAZ

Restoration

Post by bluehazeboy »

4 years after parking my kettle up because the crank seals failed and an impending divorce, I now finally can get round to getting my kettle back on the road,perfectly timed as it's now old enough for no tax or mot, thank goodness that also have a 1200 bandit, which has been enough to keep me sane,1st job will be to see what new parts that I have for the kettle,engine is already out of the frame & waiting a trip to a mates to do the rebuild
