    Bought last year, first of the unit construction engines, last on road in 2008. Matching numbers, original registration, Engine stripped to renew main bearings , but to be honest I'm not likely to get round to it. 100% complete except for Bikini Fairings. (I rode it into garage) some new spares, bearings, gasket set etc go with it. V5 in my name bike Sorned.

    Bike is unmolested, a little scruffy so £3,500 ovno no dealers please enthusiast only. Would consider exchange for 1961 Tiger Cub with cash adjustment

    So have you replaced the main bearings or does that still need to be done?

    Bearings still needs to be done. Bike is on lift with engine still in frame, piston, barrels and head etc off. Clutch out, gearbox out. (Engine bottom end still in frame). Next job would be to unscrew screws inside crank/barrel housing undo rest engine bolts and split crank etc. Barrels don't look too bad but have a really nice set of barrels and High Compression pistons which are off a bonnie i think which would go with bike. There was a very slight rumble off nearside main bearing when I rode it. I bought it with a view to having a bike for our classic club rides in any weather, but got diverted rebuilding a rare 125cc Harley for my wife. Have bearings and gasket set but to be honest, I don't think I'll get round to doing it. I need to sell 2 or 3 bikes etc to create a bit of space, I really could do with the space back. I struggled to get the new bike on centre stand this morning. I mentioned tiger Cub as I started out on one and when other bikes sell would be ok spacewise. Phone number above for anyone wants a chat re overall condition, no pressure at all. More piccies available
