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:comfort
So it looks like I’m it’s new owner:confused:
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.:thumb
Looking for £1750:thumby:

PS ~ maybe an idea for the paint on your special? :D
 
Nice looking bike, seems like good value for anyone wanting to get into classic airheads. Looks dirt cheap when compared to some of the tat on ebay.
 
All pm,s replied to
I’ve had three forum members make offers or express interest to view.
I’ll take some better pics tomorrow to give all concerned a chance to see the bike in more detail.
After that ,those that have already contacted me are first in line.
Mike
