so now that i have it at home i have started to find out what molestation the previous owners have done to it and so far here is the list

1. hacked the wiring so there is no charge circuit and no tail light and no horn

2. rewired the horn button as a kill switch

3. sheared off the woodruf key

4. tryed to fix the ignition switch but they forgot to put the insulators back in and cooked the switch

bike in bits

so have fixed up the wiring loom where there was worn wiring and the cut out sections

now just waiting for time to get to the wreckers and ebay to find the missing bits

which so far include

speedo

speedo cable

air filter

steering lock

ignition switch

mirrors

tail light

battery

and i also have to fabricate a luggage rack/seat
