looks well nice Harry is that the original frame colour ??

Harry S 12-Apr-2004 22:52

thank you! It's as close as we could get to the original colour - apart from the Green and White Cam, 24mm valves and Carb (up from 22mm), conti cored megaphone exhaust, decent tyres, speedo (yeah - speedo - didn't have one fitted originally!) and a few other odds and sods, it's as close to original as we could get it. Chris Bushell takes most of the credit!

Very, very nice, indeed. Looks like you were somewhat busy over the winter! Wouldn't mind doing one of those projects myself one of these days. I am still trying to get my hands on my grandad's old bike for the purpose of restoration. It's a Universal 650 twin, which he bought from the factory in Switzerland back in the late 50's. It's been stored for about 25 years.

That is stunning, makes me what to ramp up getting my 250 going.

Harry S 23-Apr-2004 23:11

Thank you guys - got the MOT last week and should get the number plate next week, all being well.

Eddieb - Phil in Aus is a good source - although the import duty can be a bit painful. I'll have an ask around for some of those bits you want - something will turn up when you least expect it!
