Got the bike!

Well, I've picked it up and pushed it home from Fergusson Drive to my house in Melrose Street. It's about 600m, with a quick stop along the way to pump up the tyres at the local servo (bugger pushing a bike with flat tyres).
It's a bit of a mess but it's mostly complete.
The main things missing are:
1. Windscreen
2. front fender
3. right hand brake lever (broken off)
4. mirrors
5. light for number plate (which is also missing).
6. side stand (and sidestand cutoff switch - did these bikes have one of those?)
7. Choke control (sits in the side fairing)
8. Battery
9. The top fashia cover for the fairing
The tank was off the bike.
The forks stanchions are pitted to buggery.
The frame has rust spots.
The brakes are jammed solid.
The wheel bearings feel dry as.
Apart from that, we're all good. Yeeha!
