Hello Everybody.

Post by KNIGHTY »

Always wanted a 1000cc V twin, had to be a Honda always been a Honda man an it had to be Yellow. So found one that was put away in a garage 12 years ago and has only just come out needing just a few things sorting out but cosmetically very good. Worst thing was slightly rusty in tank but got this sorted now, changing cam chain tensioners to manual cleaning out carbs lucky got a ultrasonic cleaner at work. Amazing brakes not even seized up new fluid an thats sorted. New tyres MOT an we are ready for off.
And must add found this site very useful for info. Thanks Nick.

Another one saved, well done that man.
Tyres might be a bit old, best check the dates on the sidewall.
Welcome aboard.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
