[QUOTE="Flatout, post: 3017"] [b]Bike condition.[/b] Hi pussycat, The general condition of the bike is getting to the poor stage. The swinging arm part is at least 50% red with rust. Forks at least 30% white! it's been lying in a damp shed! I'm going the Stainless Steel route with as much as possible. The way I view it is fit and forget as it's going to get well used. Received my parts from Grove yesterday. Headlamp rim is very nice and it comes with a stainless steel catch. Excellent products. I have a contact number for John Coates now so thanks for the PM's. Going to send the carbs away tomorrow and hopefully I'll get one from three! Can anyone give me advice on a stainless steel exhaust system? Not 100% sure which way to go as I've had recommendations to go to Armours / Vincent spares in Lymm but I was told that Armours don't fit. Can I expect grief when I eventually come to fit? Dave.
