The use of cable ties extends to one holding the back seat on I think, I will find that in due course I'm sure.
Just needs a service, new back tyre (it's got a 2010 date stamp), a couple of float bowl gaskets, maybe a fork rebuild over the winter and I'm good to go, oh and I need that license obvs... |
Another job that lifts the appearance is to give the exhaust pipes a good polish. Under that brown stain they are actually a pretty cheap stainless steel, which does take a shine if you work at it. Harpic drain cleaner is recommended by some (Yes, for real!).
