Nice bit of kit @Bubba1135

If it's been sat a while, could have some plates sticking, so as others have said check plates, can do it without dropping the oil if you lean it over

Fits straight in

What he said

He's changing the geometry on the rear end, you can see in the photos where they used to be, unless he is slugging and bracing that tube to withstand up ward forces,, Not fancying the way he's doing it,, But I'm sure a more knowledgeable grown up will come along and explain better!!

Now that was a productive couple of hours at work watching that

Welcome nice bike

Maybe try getting advice from members from northern Ireland who would have had more dealings buying stuff in the Roi before writing off the deal completely

You have my respect, riding a combo is an art that not everyone can manage

As everyone has said walk away, You would just be buying someone else's rubbish

No! No it's not

Think the difference for a lot of us on here is in are teens and twenties we just picked them up In are thirties and forties we would think better be careful lifting this and in are fifties and later it's, I'm not fucking lifting that Though a good way of tricking yourself into lifting them, is try lifting the shafty engines first, make the chain drive ones feel light

If you have spark then it's a carb issue most likely

If its running well, and you don't want a rebuild, go with your original plan, paint it and use it it all comes down to can you ignore it or not

Can you actually see damage or is it just the resin you can see?
