@Stupot

Apologies for my delayed response and thanks for your helpful offer, unfortunately I went down with the COVID virus mid October ending up in hospital, (on the road to recovery now and doing well)

That aside thanks for your help appreciated, I now have the seal and points cover, so the build is back on albeit slower...

Thought if I could find a reasonably priced pair of S logo mirrors they would go well with my restoration, anyone know a source for the mirrors that won’t require me to sell a kidney....

Or suggest an alternative


TIA

So what initially was to be a tidy up and ride project turned into a full blown restoration. Knowing some issues existed, more and more becoming apparent as I progressed the decision was made, with crank seals buggered, rattle can paint, mixed parts and components from other models, wiring bodged etc. etc. I got to it.


To date the frame and components have been powder coated, crank refurbed and rebore, re-zinc fixings, re-chromed parts, new seat, carbs, clocks, and switches refurbed, new wiring harnesses, new parts sourced, side panels painted, and tank sprayed maui blue.
