Further to my other post with regards to the engine - that has been sorted with the fitting of a "new" carb., piston, head and barrel.
The side panels have been repainted and it has been treated to a new seat, rack and mud flap and now looks as well as it goes.
Well, I only have my mate's word for that as I haven't ridden it since the work was carried out! Will try and get down to Cornwall soon to try it out.
