Thanks, the bike has only done just over 11,000kph and appears to have been well looked after, the previous owner bought it from a good off road motorcycle garage a couple years ago so it would have been gone through finely there. The bike is taking a bit of getting used to as its far more different than i ever imagined compared to the dtr i used to green lane a few years ago.
I try and keep the workshop looking nice as i spent a couple months restoring it, it was in a very sorry state see pic below

That's the most original Mk1 I've seen since I bought my first one new in 1990. Its even got the original unscratched handguards!

Never realised they were orignal, im planning of fitting a pair of bark busters in there place as i dont fancy smashing the levers up. Im also planning on carefully removing the aftermarket stickers and numbers as well.
