I was told it was part of an estate collection of motorcycles and had been running prior to the owner dying.
Turned out that was not true. I know you are as surprised as I was.

As you can see from the picture the tank is off and the electric start cover. The ignition system turned out to be shot with both faulty coils and the wrong pickup. The electric start doesnt and that could be anything.
Ive fitted a saches ignition system and it runs!. Engine sound beautiful and it ticks over a treat. The wiring looks like a battle field with shocking connections and taped up ends of wires coming from god know where. Its also got a boyer regulator fitted. I suspect its had a major electrical problem.
Its 50 shades of red and two of the instrument lights are broken. I also am fitting a replacement left side switch assembly as the current one is broken.
I am going to convert all lights to Led to help the old generator.
My objective is to get this on the road by April as a running restoration. Ride it during the good weather and restomod it during the winter. I will get the wheels blasted and put back to gold and fit new tyres soon.
I am really looking forward to riding this to some local cafes and classic motor hub ( Bibury) meets during the summer. Hope 2023 is a good motorcycling year
