[QUOTE="Ben Langton, post: 96758, member: 3796"] Evening all. Well I removed the sump plug and this is what came out, I was surprised, it's a 2l bottle. The oil does have a wife (been 25 years since I smelled castrol R so not sure) it has a green tinge to the brown, not particles, very clean if the colour is good? I checked the oil level, not run, on both wheels and level, dipped a wire down next to what I imagine is some kind of breather pipe? Touched the bottom of the tank, it read 1 1/2 inches like a dipstick. I've also had another look at what I think is the oil pipe work on top the engine. One that comes down from the oil tank at the front, goes in at the front. One on the right side goes down the the bottom of right crankcase and that's it, Back of oil tank down to engine and that's it I think. On anoth note that bike above is very similar David, where was it from? Neither of the names on the log book,can't quite make out reg in reflection. I have been playing "spot the difference" though. Forks look the same Cerriani? My top yoke would take those bars too. Is it a Cerriani brake too? Colour/metal plate different. Now the seat I removed sat the same, high at the back, and looks to be the same but slightly cut down. My exhaust is the same too, but now sprung held at the front. As you say, plates look the same too bar one hole on the peg plate. Steep down draft on carb. What have I missed? It's the closest. Bike I've see now never ver looked t loads of pictures. Clearly the gussets are on mine (what are they for? Could they have been added? I've seen picture of frames with straight pieces there but not full triangles (if you know what I mean?). Now this is just my novice eye on similarities, please enlighten me. Here are the pics. [ATTACH=full]22535[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]22536[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]22537[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
