[QUOTE="Matty, post: 55264, member: 1339"] I must confess that even my Comet is not quite original. It came with black rims and handlebars due to a chrome or maybe nickel shortage around 1952, and now has chrome bars and rims with red lining, it also now has an electronic regulator (unfortunately not a Dynamoregulators one) because the original Miller one packed up years ago. There is a 6Volt gel battery in the old Lucas King of the Road case, not to mention a halagon headlamp bulb, also the cast brass control levers wore out about 45 years ago and alas were binned then, I have also fitted an Avon Roadrider tyre on the rear which has a rounder profile, grips better and does not seem to wear square like the Avon SM. How are the mighty fallen !!! Matty - getting ready to ride up to the Isle of Man for the Classic TT (Manx GP next week). [/QUOTE]
