Description
Bike was imported into Australia in 2000 from the UK from the person I purchased it from in 2019. Was on full rego in NSW than changed to classic rego some years after that.
Original owner in the UK, spent quite a lot of money on fitting front fork brace, rear pack rack, changed the color scheme to something like a Triumph, had Boyer Brandson ignition system fitted, had dual disc front brake system fitted but otherwise no other mods. Have all the correct paperwork for full rego if needed, along with some spares, books, records etc. Sold as is, as classic rego not transferable. Full center stand replaced after tubing collapsed, rear grab rail added and also fuel tap kit installed (vacuum).
Mufflers are in very good condition, chrome finish on guards same, engine header pipes has a few spots of surface rust.
Always used bike cover and kept in lock up garage. As per photos/video paint work on side covers has "crocodile feet" and tank has two paint runs near the filler cap. Just replaced both front discs and pads, as one was slightly warped.
Runs extra well, starts easily electric or kick, doesn't blow any smoke or have any odd noises. Have done starter spring replacement ( kit from Geoff's XS ), comes with originally fitted pack rack.
Genuine reason's for selling.
