Description
For sale is my 1971 Mk2 Rocket 3 Project. Only up for sale due to lack of time and too many other triple projects.
When I bought this project. it had been boxed up since 1987. So I can only give the facts that I know of.
Engine had been stripped. bar the bottom end. rotor end of original crank was bent. and damage could be seen to outer edge of timing side crankcase section. all sections and mains caps show the same four figure number. I split the crankcase sections. damage was found to the mating face of the timing side crankcase section. thus requiring replacement in my opinion. I have fitted a good used crank (main journals are on -0. 020". not measured large end journals) using new mains shells and two new crank bearings. crank will not spin. I have not tried to force it. as I don't want to damage the new shells/bearings. The head is bare and has the lower corners off about 4 fins.
Fuel tank has been pushed in slightly on the lower front left hand edge. inside the tank is in excellent condition.
Frame and engine numbers match. I have recently sent the old style UK V5 registration document to DVLA for change of ownership.
The frame has two small tabs missing off the rear loop. and two lower brackets that are slightly bent all of which can be seen in the photos.
The photos form part of this description. so look carefully. what you see in the photos is what is included.
I have no other parts. There are several negatives with this project. but it's a pretty rare bike. being a genuine 1971 Mk2 R3 being registered in the UK in October 1971. I believe the oil tank to be a new item.
I am located in the I. o. M. so please contact me regards possible delivery or make collection arrangements.
The balance payable in cash on delivery/collection. I have been totally honest with my above description. so if you require any further information or close up photos of the included parts/engine damage. just ask.
