most parts are available i had a lot of stuff from david silver spares i bought aftermarket front & rear guards & tail lamp mounting bracket as they where better quality than genuine. the frame is powder coated to the exact H**** colour

i restored this one about 11 years ago & its still looks as good now my brother in law paid £225 for it from a farmer & i restored it for him but they are fetching good money now even as a basket case

i wouldn't waste money getting it repaired fit dyna s & it will be a vast improvement on the original electronic ignition
