Hmmm I'll probably have to give that particular bike a miss. Overdue it's big 12k service so I'd need to budget for a valve shim...I'm too old to tackle that in my front garden. Seller won't come down enough on price to make it worth buying and getting the job done.
I could take a chance on it being ok but I'd only worry.
On the plus side, my Beloved didn't hit the roof at my wish for another TBA.
Anyone in UK wanting to sell a decent TBA with carbs and the later style crankcase mod, I'd love to hear from you.
Meantime I'll keep looking. Something will turn up.
