Mark, I see LOTS if wiggle room in your "shop", so PLEASE don't ever sell any of them because you don't think you have room! Get rid of that pool table first! That would make room for two more! Can't explain it any way but that it somehow breaks everybody else's heart to hear of one being sold to who-knows-who out there! If I won the lottery I would start a 1300 rescue operation to buy every 1300 six cylinder bike I could find, plus all of the parts, then sell them at cost to those who "qualify" in my book!

Also, if you ever find any over here that you would really like to buy, most of us would be glad to host any of you guys to stay with us while you close the deal and arrange for shipping. I used to be on a sidecar hospitality listing for a place to crash, get repairs, welding, emergency transportation and crisis control, so I've hosted many people over the years and still have most of them for friends. Would be glad to host any others from your side of the pond to help get some of our bounty to England, or Scotland.

We're just old and slow anymore, Kawboy! It wore me out coming up with two Voyagers and a sidecar in just about a year!

Well I can't take any compliments for the paint job that was done by a previous owner but I love it and won't be changing it, all I did was add to compliment things such as the red front mudguard, elephants ears, headlamp housing and the rear shocks (the shocks mainly due to the fact that I just so happened to have a set in red and didn't know what else to do with them so this was the obvious answer for the time being, other major parts replaced that looked cool but in my mind didn't work with the bike were the front headlights these when bought were bates twin headlights with a chrome mask below them, re-fitted a proper front master cylinder this was a round one with a 10mm combination spanner being used as its mounting bracket, K&N's replaced back to original airbox, proper cans added along with other odds and sods etc. Next cosmetic thing to do is change the seat have a couple of excellent original bases here that I have had stripped and powder coated these will be heading down to Bob the seats place for foams, covers and straps to be added. Long term intention is to completely strip down and do a complete re-furb, have had this bike for about 7 years and have as with the others become quite attached to it lol.
I am further thinking of doing a similar type paint scheme but in either 2 different greens or green and black not sure yet, this would be on a separate body kit I have not the one on this bike we will wait and see. Any ideas welcome.
