This EF came up for sale locally and a couple of hours later im back in Air Cooled fold :pimp:  

It`s a bit rough in places wheel rims, frame, sun/frost bleached inner fairng from being stored outside for the last few years, but does have new tryes, brakes, new oil, filter etc by a local shop last year. Also an alleged engine rebuild 4000km ago, looks at least to have visibley new gaskets.  I bought it as none runner, once home drained the carbs/tank of condensation charged the battery, freed the clutch off and  its a runner. 

The wife is now threatning to confiscate my van keys..........   xD

That's the color of the first ever 1150 I bought back in 86'..... once you strip all the gayness off it .... it will be top notch as intended !

Any hints as to what's in store for the poor thing???:o

Good question Toni, i must admit when it came up for sale my first thought was just to rape it of it`s engine, then sell the rest off in parts :vu: But once home cleaned up a little.        Got it running, , removed some of the crap, ridden it a couple of times.  It`s growing on me , so for the time  being i shall keep tidying her up,  look out for a decent  4-1 pipe.                    Possible bandit front end, rear

Look around the forum for some inspiration  :pimp:   

It is also proving to be a lucky bike , two short rides out have resulted in a tip on another EF,  the second trip scored me an ice cream and a Yoshi  presumably slabside pipe.
