New starter solenoid on and now running on the button just awaiting new top engine mount crash bung and some new rear sets did not go for triumph ones as they would cost what i paid for the bike hopefully get it on the road for the weekend to try it out :D

great rough feeling engine i had a 955I Sprint, it did however consume fook loads of oil, they feel a rough engine but do pull very well. Servicing is costly and don't start with a flat Battery, you will bugger the sprag clutch and thats a dear and a pain to do.

missing the noise, not the vibes. However never say never!

Im lucky in a kinda way with the sprag clutch as its located near the starter motor on the later version with its own cover though i do say only thing that put me off was price on parts 80 quid for a rear brake pedal is pretty steep especially when i bought some aftermarket rear sets for a little more.
