This is "barn find", in the sense that it belonged to my late brother and had nothing to do with it, or knowledge of it until he died and shipped it down from Scotland.  Having said that he loved his bikes and took great care of it when he was able.   have V5 etc.  I took it along to my local motorbike MOT guy and he gave me list of things that were wrong, so it is going as spares or repair.  The last MOT ran out in July 2016.  It has not been crashed and up until the MOT ran out it was looked after.  It is complete.  I  gave it fresh petrol and started it few weeks ago it started easily and ran smoothly. The items which know will need attention are as follows:
There is no battery (I borrowed one to start it.)The front forks are leaking/need attention.The rear suspension trailing frame union is corroded see pictures.The petrol tank has taken on water and there is corrosion in it.The bike generally has rust see the pictures.
Having said that think it could make good project, or conversion to bobber or such.  The bike has only done genuine 15,000 miles.  Please come and have look.
I'm open to sensible offers.
