You're going to need a new left silencer LOL

Pay very close attention to the tank, particularly along the seam. I had one suddenly let go on a 250 Superdream in the middle of Mayfair Shocked

Parts are still pretty plentiful for these bikes. There were a lot of Superdreams on the road in the 80s.

They're quite tough. Just hope yours wasn't owned by a learner back in the mists of time Shocked

Then again, the fact that it's still in one piece suggests it probably wasn't Wink

was made redundant so it prob gonna take me long time to do it up lol on the upside the spray job will be ok as i am a sprayer lol Laughing

The bike looks pretty sound and everything seems to be there, which is a good start. Being able to spray is a bonus Very Happy

27cows · World Chat Champion Joined: 01 Nov 2009 Karma :

Other years will fit. Not 100% sure but I don't think there were any really major changes made during the time the Superdream was in production.
