Was I correct in thinking it was Four Lucky Slappers?

Four things to adjust

if you re-cover the seat (brown) and do some pipe wrap it will be worth heaps more. dont forget to take off a bunch of other stuff and throw it away, and bodge the electrics.

Also put reg on hold for a year then forget to renew. Increases value heaps!

what is 4LS? ??? edit: dont worry worked it out.

for six grand you would get this and have change to build a wheel: http://www.manx.co.uk/pdf/MPL-Replic...Assemblies.pdf

granted not much change, but some.

I recall reading that the original Suzuki 4LS drums were sought for pre 76(?) or some other class of racing that required components of the correct era where new, even if replicas of old, were not acceptable

Oh and don't bother to get a WoF. Just let the buyer know that it'll pass a WoF no problems.

Just to be clear PBR is cheap watered down cat piss, bottom o' the barrel trailer park beer.

Spotted Pabst Blue Ribbon at the local bottle shop today and immediately boycotted it and kept NZ Great and bought Peroni....oh hang on...
( its actually made in Aussie)

Pre 72. Replicas of period stuff are acceptable - but HDC's post on price is indicative as to why you'd find a Suzuki brake.
Those who have wanted to run with the Register usually fit locally cast backplates to disguise the origin, LOL.

It is too expensive at $10k without explicit assurance that it runs and runs well. Or well-ish. I paid $5k for one in worser-er cosmetic condition that didnt run (it now does.. so yay) but I still ahve some cycle part refurb and stuff to do. It will owe me around $7500 all in once back on the road. Mine had rego on hold which is worthwhile.

Personally I would buy this one:

https://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Lis...?id=1732608563 - its not dissimilar to mine (though slightly cheaper and running) - the cooked alternator isn't surprising and is fixable - parts are easy to get. Bit more expensive than last year because of fucking Trump.

and in fact I would have a bid on it already except the domestic consequences would be DIRE.

I'd take the $10k one over your offering, so long as it's a good runner.

Sigh - you were able to pick old CB's for sweet F-all once.

I have never made decent investment choices.

And my Lotto numbers suck-arse.

I was thinking about this today: what to buy now to make thousands off one day...

Its like lotto but with more guess work and you have to store it for 20 years
