Well, having done about 160 miles in the last 4 weeks of being on the road, I'm quite impressed with this bike.
I've done a couple of 50 mile rides with no problems, albeit the carb badly needs cleaning, so some stuttering occurs over 50mph. The headlight is better than I thought for a 35/35w, but would be a slight struggle in rain during darkness, but going a little slower in rain is no bad thing.
Just placed a massive order on eBay, for bike bits. Getting fuel hose+clips, fuel filter, Yuasa battery, Oximiser charger, carb cleaner+tool, electric contact cleaner, double copper sparkplug +gapping tool/wire brush, air pressure guage, semi setting gasket paste, LED mirror set, 2x mirror adapters, 4x LED indicators (2 spare) + LED relay, 3x thermal socks and amoured waterproof pants.
Still have other bits in mind, like heatshrink
Had some rubber side panel lugs arrive from China. Quite good fit, but were a little too tight for the plastic prongs....I broke 2 on one panel! So widened the lug holes to fit and ordered another side panel.....cannot believe I found one, as this bike is so very rare!
Maybe getting daytime running lights, but will have to think about wiring direct to battery with an independant switch. They are 3w each (2 of) and running them through the 3w headlight side bulb circuit probably won't be a good idea, as by law, I have to keep that bulb alight too! Maybe fit a 0.5 - 1w LED bulb in headlight, then add 2, 1 - 1.5w LED running lights to do this?
