Sorry about complications with picture, but I don't have it anywhere else .So, you go to the link I gave, and there's a gallery of bikes.My bike is signed with my username.
I purchased it in May 2003 for 100£.Frankly, when I bought it, it was a total mess, so i decided to do some recovering job.It gastank and sideboxes were smashed and paintjob was a nightmare.It took me a whole summer to deal with it.
Opinion, critics and compliments are welcomed

cheers

Good job, You don't see enough of that kind of thing on the roads.

Those motors always remind me of old brit trials bikes with the angled cooling fins. Does it have a shrouded carb too? I know some of the earlier ones did as a primitive form of anti-icing.

I would get those fork stanchions well greased and stick a pair of fork gaiters over the top, it would have come with them when it was new. I can't see from your picture but a lot of eastern block bikes don't have chromed stanchions, these are supposed to be covered up with gaiters.

I am pretty sure that this place stocks parts for your bike if you were ever stuck. I have always found them very helpfull.
