    Never understood why people BUY stickers (or even paint a bike with commercial advertising) and put them on their own stuff, to advertise for someone elses business.

    Maybe to inform the unknown onlooker what he is looking at ?

    Sometimes the commercial ads paint job is good looking, especially if they have the resources to spend megabucks on advertising, us ordinary Joe soaps ain't always good at designing fancy stuff. 

  2. Finally got it home, soon to be in the project section, lots of bits needed like the tank, panels, headlight etc, I also got some spares with it so I will stick those up here too if anyone wants efe bits.

    Not sure how far to go with the restoration. As it is,  it is absolutely original and is only the engine lacquer that has suffered. The frame paint is basically intact apart from a couple of places that has small scuffs.. not really any rust. It seems a shame to have the frame powder coated and lose the original patina.

    Would I best keeping the original patina as much as possible ?

    What do you guys think ?

    Yes, it's class looking as it is lad

    If you have a spare tacho, connect that and see if it behaves the same. If so, it's probably something with the wiring feeding the tacho. If not, it's something with the tacho itself. I use an old 600 teapot tacho I know to be good to diagnose faults in this way and it saves a lot of unnecessary faffing and head scratching.

    Good plan
