Thanks Bill, I sold a KH250 to buy it as a butchered A65 Lightning 35yrs ago, I think I paid £650. All the oil tank and side panel brackets were removed (what was he thinking!!!) and a hexagonal tank fitted together with a fibreglass fuel tank! My first project :)
I'd like to say there's always room in the garage for the odd Brit amongst the kwakis but, probably like yourself, it's getting a little full :??
Keep well and keep us up to date with the Beeza project
