Grey Flash 2751

The engine has not been stripped down and we have no plans to take it apart unless deemed necessary. This venerable unit has seen a hard life but was in perfect mechanical condition when the bike was sold to Japan in 1989. Whilst in that country, the bike was only used a few times so we’re not expecting there to be any major issues internally. And we are planning to start and run the bike once the restoration has been completed.

The bike would have left The Works fitted with a Vibrac connecting rod – I have a lead on an NOS one but the work required to fit something that (i) can’t be seen and (ii) will be of dubious structural strength seems counter-productive.
