Finally picked up the N1 today Although I'm gonna restore it I thought I'd see what I'm up against first I found that the cdi was missing along with the temp sender,carbs balance pipe,self cancelling unit and carbs retaining clips It got me wondering what state the engine and electrics were in I borrowed the cdi from my F1 build,fitted the other missing parts along with an aux petrol tank Then set about trying to fire it up Happy to say after about 50 kicks it burst into life and all the electrics seem to work It's misfiring a bit on the right side but sweet when firing it sounds ok Here's a pic of it on eBay Here's a pic of it running Although the seat will be replaced in red,I had to remove them hideous Yamahas I've already sent an N1 body kit to Cordwells so won't have to wait for it like usual Cheer Matt

???Yeah mate Is there something I should know No, nothing wrong with it, looks good I was going to have a punt myself, don't need it for anything just thought I'd have a cheeky bid in case it came in handy for the future As you need it I'll leave it alone, don't want to pinch something from under your nose I don't really need. You don't need a clutch cable do You? Think I have a nos one Steve

I've got six two wheelers, 3 are LCs in a single garage and space is getting tight! You must have a hanger!
Re the clocks, yes, i bid on two tatty sets on fleabay and won and now Midlifecrisis has offered me a repaired top cover, which looks good, so I might have four sets soon!!
Cheers

Hi Matt The paintwork looks stunning I had a set of Lc paintwork all boxed up ready to go to Mark and then the carbon bike came along and I needed the cash so it didn't happen. He certainly has a great reputation and has done a brilliant job on yours. I'm sure the resto will be as good as the paint Regards Dusty

Cheers Eric it's my favourite colour too Too many white ones already (I can hear them bleating whites the best) It's not gonna be a shed ornament ,I'm riding it That said it won't be totally standard either I'm using a metmachex swinger(unbraced),wavy discs,small can allspeeds,uprated shocks and some other bits Nothing that can't be reversed though Matt

Hi Steve Your right they will be winging there way to Scotland They might be coming with the tdr if that's going to yours Quite a lot of olive on these mate as you already know Is the clock surround meant to be olive? Can I send the brake pedal,headlight bezel,kickstart,gear linkage and other big bits? Engine bolts I'm not sure cos I need a set for the lc2 afterwards Are you doing more?.. Matt
