    @NINJA thanks, from Andover about 40miles away.. no they delivered it. With any vehicle sold on eBay, you can reject it if not as described.. in this case it was a lot better condition than I was hoping. Very original underneath...no butchered wiring either, tank it excellent condition.
    Even both sets of wheels are mint. Just need cleaning.

          @oldman you've got enough bikes already haha. Very good price this was.

          If anyone has any spares let me know, the oil pump works and is in mint condition but I need the 2t tank and level sensor.

                      Nice bike.
                      That was a fast disassembly.
                      I'll be watching this thread.....

                      I need my tools and a pile of junk.....

                        Thanks. Took about 5 hrs with some cleaning in the process.. always careful to not round any bolts

                          The trick to make any project look good is attention to detail... including deep cleaning.

                          See how well these 25year old parts come up.

                          Here's the engine.. I am not painting the crankcases as they were bare from the factory,but I'll give a light polish before installing to frame.

                          Took ages to clean it to this standard.. especially around the sprocket, exhaust manifold and underneath..

                          I also sourced a 125re 2t bottle which I will use as I cannot find the original one.. the level sensor connector is the same, so hoping that will work. Also the oil pump is in good condition and the carburettor has the oil intake fitting. I will use clear hoses as always.

                          The side stand switch is missing but I have found the wires for it.. so I will fix this.

                            Radiators are in such good condition.. but these bikes do not have any braces to protect them unlike the 125

                              A decent camera probably doesn't hurt neither 😛

                              With regards to the RE Oil Sender, uhh it's just a switch. It's either on or off, so shouldn't be hard to get working.

                                  Probably lost 1kilo of dirt and grease from the bike

                                          Mostly elbow grease haha, sprayed in multi purpose spray (wd40 type stuff) left over night then she used a tooth brush and scotch bright+ brake clean and hand polished
