Thanks for kind words / welcome.
I could'nt believe the condition and standard of restoration the previous owners had carried out. I've always had / have bikes but this one is so different.
I would go as far as to say I'm scared to do anything in case I do any damage.
Found a company who makes the fish tail exhausts, found some new period klg plugs . BSW tools etc etc last thing on my refresh list is new tyres / tubes / rim tape (did'nt consider the difficulty of buying pre war bits - don't know what I was thinking).
Ive ordered old style new 20 inch tyres n tubes etc to fit as peace of mind - currently fitted with John Bull tyre on rear looks good but no numbers to reference age and front one is a bit cracked around the edges - looks a lot more used than rear one again no age reference details... I was told if no reference numbers relating to date is to be found on a tyre then it would more than likely be before the 80's as it became law that manufacturers date stamps was used from this year !!!
sounds good to me - sorry for the ramble 👴🏻
Thanks again for reply's 🍻
