Hi All,
I'm brand new here!
I have joined your ranks in the hope of picking your brains! My grandfather is in the process of restoring a HRD 90 which he bought in 1946 as a day to day ride-about. It sat in a barn for many years from about 1950 and parts 'disapeared' over the years as generally happens.
It is now running again, the JAP 495cc engine has been rebuilt along with the wheels and other parts. We are in need of several items to complete the job and I am hoping that somebody out there might be able to help?
We need a top hung Burman 3 speed box and hand change lever/block, the bike was already converted to a Burman 3 speed foot change when my grandad bought the bike. The frame was cut to accomodate this box, but I would love to put it back to hand change.
We are also looking for an original tank, rear mudguard and seat - a long shot I know, but worth asking the question! i have found a guy in Hungary selling reproduction tanks, but we would really like to keep it original if at all possible.
If anybody can help or knows someone who knows somebody else, please get in touch!!
Thanks for reading and I'll look forward to speaking to you in the future, Cheers, Matt
