Hi all To cut a very long story short i had an 84 L2 YPVS and sold it to a mate in 1995 who did 300 miles on it broke a ring/piston not sure which yet and then left it in a barn till 2 weeks ago when after many times of asking he allowed me to re buy it from him for £350 was good to see my name still on log book as previous owner..anyway since aquiring it i have totally stripped it and going to have frame powder coated,engine rebuilt...etc...i do need a few parts and hope im not jumping the gun by asking if anyone has any...mainly top cover of kidney clocks...have attatched a pic hope its uploaded ok...plan on keeping the bike forever and being on here as often as possible. Cheers Dave Attachments:

i finished a kenny rep last year and i had never done a complete resto b4, take digi pics mate got me out of some probs a time or two especially if you have wiring issues like i did, take as many as you can they will prove invaluble at a later date plus when you got her all back together its always nice to compare the b4 and after pics , have fun
