I'm certainly not on the same par with only 5 bikes in my workshop. It reminds me somewhat of a time when I went to see someone to purchase a single-seat unit for a Ductai, he was some sort of Ducati club official and told me he had over 20 bikes in his large garage.
When I arrived he did indeed probably have about 20 bikes as he stated, the only thing was they were all in parts literally piled on top of each other. I wondered how he knew what was what as there was just a heap of bikes and parts all thrown together. He had only one complete bike.
To be brief, I was there to buy what he advertised as a fibreglass single seat, I paid a minimal sum for it as it had been badly sprayed with a rattle can in black. When I got it home and cleaned it up it turned out to be a full carbon seat made by a company named Ilmberger who are well known for quality carbon fibre products, it was easily worth a few hundred quid, his loss was my big gain.
At least all your bikes are in one piece, I have a couple that are not and after a while knowing what's what gets difficult. Good luck with finding a solution.

I restored 8 of them, always got to do something to keep to busy. |
