took the old girl out

Post by johnakay »

for a spin. the bike that is.
just had the accent ignition fitted by JMC restorations.
I can't fit it due to pace maker so no can do strobe light.
I fit a new regulator/rectifier from rex speed shop.
move the ignition switch to the top ,I dont bend so easy these days.
bike ran well no surging etc .
once warmed up for the 1st time I opened her up and wow didn't expect it to go that quick.
so in all a very happy chappy.
heres some pics.

They're great bikes and have a surprising turn of speed. Very low reving too, mine turns a shade over 4000rpm at 70mph. Very relaxing and comfortable ride.
They're rubbish them Jap bikes lad they won't last five minutes! you want to get yourself a nice Royal Enfield!
A quote from my old dad 8-)

I started out with nothing and I’ve got most of it left!
