GeneC120 18 #6 Posted September 7, 2017 Thanks for the welcome guy's, been having a look around and there's at lot of info that's for sure. I normally work on bike's so hoping its not to dissimilar to work on.

GeneC120 18 #17 Posted September 8, 2017 Wood gone now, the fuel pump is not connected and I don't know whats under the cover. Will have a look Sunday and get some pic's, when its had all the crud washed off. Need to find out what the attachment is or was on the rear and get the weights off the rear wheels. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stormin 9,981 #18 Posted September 10, 2017 'Ow do, Gene. Welcome. I'm just short of the border with Scotland. I've seen worse than your C-120 and don't get rid of those rear wheel weights. Unless you would like me to have them. Like hens teeth over here. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
