I was asked by a customer to recommission this 1973 R90/6 recently,
However he doesn’t really want to commit the funds to restore it
So it looks like I’m it’s new owner
Anyway anyone fancy it before I break it for parts.
It’s history,
The bike originally resided in Canada,when the then owner retired to Spain the bike was dismantled and shipped to avoid import tax.
It was reassembled,in Spain but was never run again,
This was @ 15 years ago,
My customer purchased it and shipped it to the uk last year.
The engine turns over fine with the kickstart,all gears select,
There is a nova cert with the bike .
The dates seem to fit as the tyres have never been used on the road and have a date stamp 2002.
It will want a full recommission,push rod tube rubbers have perished,tyres are rock hard,
Assume the brake master cyl is knackered (may just never have been refilled with fluid)
Carbs will want rebuilding but seem to have been emptied prior to laying up so are fairly clean.
Tank seems solid ,again seems to have been stored empty .
Some crappy photos to be going on with ,I’ll take some more tomorrow in daylight.
Looking for £1750
