Good to see you've installed some security there immediately in the form of a vicious guard dog! S/he looks like s/he would lick anybody touching that bike-to-be to death!

Hi 850 T,

It might be early days but seeing your bike is making me go all misty eyed as she reminds me of my 1981 MHR, purchased brand spanking new from Three Cross M/C. Now sadly gone - wonder where UNM 271W is now...?

She was my first Duke and what a bike. Crashed her after only a week (doh..!!) and had to fork out a grand for repairs... ouch - thanks for the cash Dad..!!

We went all over the place - many happy memories, not least of which was that I chatted up my wife-to-be on her...!!

James.

Ok, i took a quick photo of the rear, actualy a little to quick it a bit blurd but it wil do .
thanks for all the comments, also would anyone know where to pick up some cheap front indicators which come standard on the mhr ?? mine were broken in the crash, they seem a little hard to come by

I assume you've tried the trusty fleabay...????

Are they the same as the rears or different...if so take a quick pic of the old ones if you still have them so we've got a rough Idea what they look like....or a pic of a similar bike..??

We can keep an eye out for ya then........ :wink:

Have you tried Mdina http://www.mdinaitalia.co.uk/ ?

I need a set of those ND clocks for the laverda I'm restoring, you didn't end up replacing them and keeping the broken clocks did you?

[851 tricolour]
