'Hog said... Wheels have been painted, sidepanel stickers are wrong. Front brake caliper is from a D model, rear is correct but there are a few other little bits I don't like. Not as original as he's making out, but not as bad as some I've seen if it looks like that in the flesh. They're fetching silly money now, ain't they? A couple of years back that one would have been up at about 550 - 600 quid absolute tops.
The reason that fucked old RDs are making so much money, is that there seem to be endless amounts of numptys who think this old shite equates to a "Classic" bike in some way, and are prepared to pay accordingly. k
There's some odd-looking wiring under the seat, or is it just my eyes and/or monitor? And while the seat base may be find, I'd be sceptical about the edges.
Innit just: "I reckon I need something newer, faster and sportier, most likely from one of the other original signatory nations of the Tripartite Pact" Like a Honda CD200 Benly, then.
Maybe your eyes and monitor are what made you tell an XS650 owner he needed to spilt his cam chain to change the cam bearings? Or more likely just that you are a know it all prick, who in point of fact knows very little .....................lol k
