That's the best I can do with uploading the pics. There's not much to see at the moment except the work required:
The engine and rear wheel hub had been painted black and what you see at the moment is the result after using a can of Nitromor paint stripper.
The rear seat hinge bracket has snapped at some stage and I'm going to fabricate something and weld into place.
The HT leads have been bodged onto the standard coils. Either HT lead connectors or new coils required.
The only major thing which will need doing is the gearbox which needs sorting out and was the reason I haven't ridden this one for a few years. hard to select second gear and also started jumping out of gear. I have some decent replacement selector forks. Hopefully, just a case of removing the sump rather than taking the engine out.
There is no picture of the exhaust shown which is somewhere in the house . It is a quite rare 70's Kerker race pipe which I have been saving for this bike.
Also, I know that the rear wheel spindle has been put in the wrong way with the nut on the wrong side. But I can not see any reason why it shouldn't be like this!
