March 8, 201510 yr Author You can still get all the mechanical stuff for 'em pretty easily , if a little expensively . I've one in the garage needs a crank and a tank . I won't be getting it as pretty as bro's but I'll make a useful bike out of it . I been off the road since I picked up a 4yr ban about 6yrs ago and I can't wait to get the bike running . Funds , as always are the limiting factor . I've a nice set of Allspeed stainless pipes from an air cooled 400 that were on bro's bike so I know they'll work well . Gonna put a race seat unit on and a digital speedo . I'll post up some pics of the neglected old girl soon .

March 13, 201510 yr Author The bike was actually a German import and whoever put it together knew what they were doing , it had a serious tune . Bro' blew it up flat out on the back roads one day and it lay in a box for years . The colour was battleship grey but Bro' changed it to the fetching R1/Candy Blue with metal flake we see today .
March 13, 201510 yr Author My bike however is an Irish reg'd bike .... And you wouldn't half know it ! Everything breakable has been broken/discarded and everything else finished in a nice farmyard Red Lead and tastefully contrasting JCB Yellow !!!!
March 13, 201510 yr Author I've got a couple of RD400's in the workshop if you want me to keep the Allspeeds warm! They'll be alright , lol . You wouldn't happen to have a tank and a crank (or any other bits ) for an ageing old lady who's been round the track a few times , but would like to kick up her skirts for a while yet , would you ?
