    what are your intensions for it ? could be worth a bit if its clean as they are thin on the ground !!!  

    I was going to butcher it for a project but a mate of mine  reckons I should restore it back to original.its in quite a bad way I drained the oil but 1/2 liter of water came out first it does turn over but compression is low.its been outside for 10 years the frame is bleached white by the sun the carbs are seized solid.Going to give it some thought see where I go with it

    Hi.ive just got my blandit project home and i just noticed it's got 1156 stamped on the barrels I was under the impression 1200s were never stamped.the engine number starts V19 so it's a bandit engine it's on a M registration plate so a very early model.did some bandits have the capacity stamped on them 

    Thanks

    Blow through or draw through?

    Would like to build something special but I expect its seized solid and what are the chances if the carbs being serviceable also I only  have the one picture the other side could be worse .its being delivered Wednesday i will assess the situation.it was worth taking a gamble

    Exhaust identification B12

    Hi does anyone know what exhaust system this is I thought it was a micron delta system but I cannot find any reference to it on the interweb I got a stack of paperwork with my B12 project and it has some paperwork for the delta system but I'm sure this isnt it.

    Thanks

    Blandit 12 project info

    Hi everyone I just picked up a 1200 blandit that has been standing a few years I also got a box or spares which I found a dyno jet box in.the bike runs like crap so would it be better to go back to basics and remove the dyno jet kit I also found 16 fouled spark plugs in with the spares.its fitted with a micron delta system which looks like a quality exhaust but being that micron died a while ago is this a good system to use.your infinite wisdom is greatly appreciated

    Hi guys the seals were leaking on my 750m forks and on closer inspection they are really worn out chrome all gone around the seal area.What are my options is it possible to remove the bottoms of the forks if so how do they come apart ?? And is re chroming an option ?? This project I'm doing is getting quite pricey.

    Thanks

    When I get the engine in the frame I will do a compression check the engine looks really clean Hardly any engine paint missing just the exhaust studs needed some drilling
