Parkinoff
Race Dog
I have bought this bike from SMD. It is not a code 3. It was completely stripped and assembled with pics available. The bent frame was professionally straightened by Allan in Salt River. This is not a restored bike but would be quite easy to restore as it is original and complete.
The forks were straightened by Jandre in Bellville but I have another set of perfect and original forks bought from someone on the forum.
The bike runs perfectly straight and everything works, including the original heated grips. Some outstanding items are on order from Volker: Original hand guards, rubber insert between tank and instrument cluster unit, original handle bar (Renthal Bars currently fitted). Screen is faded and the one special screen fitting is damaged.
This bike is perfect to keep original - it was a one owner bike since 1993 (not so sure about that as I see two previous registration numbers on the papers) until I bought it from SMD. I have not tried to find out who the previous owner was.
I find the bike uncomfortably small and not ideally suited to my style of riding. I would be willing to swop for an offroad capable modified Airhead.
During the trip to the GKG the front drive shaft boot clamp came off and I noticed a bit of oil in the cavity. The boot was secured at the lodge so I did not ride back with the open boot. Dont know if the gearbox output seal perhaps needs replacement as I think the shaft cavity should be dry.
