Bought my bike in various boxes 3 years ago from a local guy who had crashed it.
The stock motor needed a rebuild so I took a punt on a bigbore motor advertised online
Had the motor rebuilt by Roger Upperton in Leeds. Now it’s 1290cc big valve running RS38’s &Vance and Hines drag pipe, Bandit forks and wheels

I was was diagnosed with bone cancer half way through the building so kinda slowed things up for a bit.
Paint was done by a local guy and bike finally set up properly by John Warrington in Malton.
Had an old ET years ago so chuffed with how mine has turned out.
Braced frame, 1290 cc big valve head, Mikuni RS38’s, APE filters, Vance and Hines pipe, Bandit forks and wheels were an easy upgrade, YSS rear shocks, paint by Mike Stewart in Aberdeen.
