Post 2: The Second Acquisition: The Blue Bike
After I'd acquired the orange bike and started to collect the parts I needed, I came across this one which looked like I could repair it using mainly the extra parts acquired in "job-lot" purchases of parts required for the orange bike. Hopefully I'd need very few extra parts. Of course that turned out to be absolutely wrong, but nonetheless I tried. I've described the resto of this blue bike as I did this one first to prepare for the orange... but here is a selection of "as purchased" pictures and the text of the original ad. Text of ad follows.... "For Sale is my Honda Express project that is 99% all there. Indicators missing. Will need work. Bought it about a year ago and only took the head off. Will need wiring sorted as it was cut through but easily reconnected as it is still there. Bad . Will need at least a new sleeve and piston fitted . Head is OK. See pic...
