Plymouth HD were at the Devon County Show today and had one of these on their patch of grass. Your shot has made it look less ugly than it is IRL!!!

I've had some fun with my bike over that last 2 months.
Replaced the compensator, clutch hub, primary chain and tensioner. Compensator went bad and broke the splines on the clutch hub.
Got that done then the clutch cable went, or so I thought. Exhaust needs to come off the remove transmission cover to replace cable. Broke an exhaust stud removing exhaust and couldn't get it out using drill/heat/easy out so head had to come off.
All sorted now and back on the road....

Out of curiosity Bob, why did you take the barrel off as well?

The barrel has a large o-ring underneath rather than a standard gasket and as the tension had been released it was recommended that I replaced the o-ring...

Looks like it was rolled off that trailer. Either way I still love it.
