Passed results are no guarantee for the future.
Hi Guys, after reading all the topics here found my inspiration for my bike. Currently running with a BSA muffler and stock carb, TM38 is on the shelf waiting for a proper pod filter. It was pretty much all stock when I bought it for 650€ but after sitting for 25 years it ran after just 1 kick. Fuel tank is completely free of rust in the inside. Added a steel brake line in the front and rebuilt all the brake parts. New tyres, fresh oil and filter, adjusted the valve clearance. Cut off a bit of the rear fender, fitted a new sprocket/chain set and the chrome on the fenders and headlight etc. was so far gone I just painted it all black. Also new steering bearings fitted and the fork legs have been rechromed, fitted new rubbers around the legs. It actually only has 11.000km's on it (6.835 miles)! Got silk black bars on it now, quite wide but in the sand it handles great! Oh and I got a motolanna seat, shipping took 2 weeks.

I like the look and the sublte mods you made- I would drop the bars a bit- more clubman or GP type or even drag bars- I think that would gve it a bit more attack- I Dig that bike though!!!
 
too bad you're all the way in Amsterdam, I'd try to buy the rack from you!
Bike looks great
