Thanks. I'm touched. The front tyre is new and so are all the footrests..

Gear selector pedal, exhaust, "Faberge" muffler, front mudguard, tyre valve dust caps, indicators, seat, handlebars... loads more but we'd have to know the year Smile

Gear lever is original but 'padded' with a bit of garden hose (makes a surprising difference), Exhaust and 'can' yes, front mudguard is original but repaired with some mini wing, self tapping screws and black paint, indicators yes , seat yes (GN250), handlebars yes. Year is 1976.. probably.

Nice bike. A mate of mine had an X6 Hustler (predecessor to the GT250) when I was a teenager. Those things rip!

Aww, shucks.. Thanks, the chambers are home made by me, look better in the photos TBH.. Still not sure if they make any differnce either plus or minus. I think it's a bit down on power (crank seals?) as it was stood for 14 years before I gt hold of iit but it still pulls 80..

Well they do/did but I had to shove some dB killer tabs up the stingers cos the neighbours started to look unhappy and I think that has also killed the performance..

It was difficulty to tell at first as I was running in a rebore but after a few hundred mile I went WOT the other and it only just chuffed up to 65, I put the old standard exhausts back on (inc baffles but w/o wadding - they never had any) and she pulls like a train again. Rolling Eyes
