Hello from Wales

#1

Post by SaesnegShaun »

Hi All,

Quick introduction. I have a 78 in pretty rough shape thats next inline for the table.
Definately a bitsa bike, 78 frame and on wires so an earlier front end swap I think?
All the usual vintage jap problems are present, missing parts, no brakes, gummed up carbs etc
Got some new belts to go on so thats the first job.

Hello from New York State .
The GL doesn't look so bad.
That rh rotor is a bit groovy, though

Yes unfortunately the caliper pistons are siezed and it had been moved around with the disc being pushed into the caliper mounts!

Hello from Canada. My forebears emigrated from LLanidloes in the late 1800's. Always interesting to see when folks join the site from far and wide. I have a 78 that was once in rough shape as well, some TLC will reward you with a very nice example. Your bike looks to be in fairly good cosmetic condition.
Regards
Jonesz
