received these today ...







now got 2 reds , 2 blues , 2 xl's and a super in various forms of repair - better getting a move on !!!

Great find mate    they are just begging to be brought back to their former glory! good luck with them, keep us posted with lots of pics!  

i have got to decide what to restore and what to customise???

will have to have a think and see what bits are usable ....

think i got a bit carried away !!!!!!!!

where did you get them from?

a very nice man who no longer wanted them !!!!!

your so lucky

a nice find, plenty parts there for re-builds!!!  

good find i need to find a tatty mk2 for my green grifter plan see thread my dream grifter

lots of bikes to restore, restore to your own taste bud, but with so many would be an idea to do one to high/good factory standard as such

as for kustoms well why not, mine are not factory but certainly ooze grifter... my advice concentrate on one for now and check the forks now and the cotter pins as that really is all which has gave me problems

get yourself a new thread and put some pics up strip down and rebuild, pics work for us all here

thanks for the advice .

so far only problem is the cotter pins - i hate them .

thinking of doing an xl resto and possibly a red and/or blue one too .

need to start seeing what parts i can find and then decide !

happy grifting !!!

cotter pins a pain first bike a pain had to drill out one in the end,

second bike 3 mm bit of metal plate over the threaded part loads of wd40, good whack and they both popped out, dont be afraid to hit hard with the metal plate over it as it should not bend the cotter pin, forks well your either lucky or your not
