It did run before I bought it, but it had stood outside for a couple of years, the fuel lines had perished, so starting it up had petrol pi**ing all over the place!!! To be honest it does look bad initially but I think its basically sound just needs completely rebuilding I have got another tank for it, all the panels, fairing, belly pan, clocks, lights ..... the list is endless if I think about it I'm waiting for the weather to warm up a bit then I'll strip it down, I did the rear caliper last week when I took these pictures.... anyone got any caliper pistons in good nick??
