Hi Bert,
Thought I'd upset the guy by mentioning the seat strap goes behind the ridge on the seat, must learn some tact
Anyway, had a good chat and did get his name and tel no. Will keep in touch. He was tidying up the GTR for a mate who owned the bike.
This might interest all GTR owners. He wasn't happy that the chain guard was original BS item. At first glance it seemed OK to me but the groove that clears the rear shock looked slightly odd. Just checked one I've got and will send him a photo to confirm one way or the other. Is there an alternative from another machine ?
If you ever tick that one off the Bucket list, would be great to meet up. It's 250 miles from my home but only 5 miles from my youngest daughters place in London.
The Ace is not much to look at, set amongst railway arches and former industrial land, it's only the history that you can sense and feel. Don't make a special trip !!
Now if you combined with a vist to the TT or classic week on the Isle of Man, then ........................
Brian.
