Reconditioning Details

When the motorcycle was moved to Australia in 2020, it was already in highly original condition, so rather than being a candidate for a restoration, the goal was to ‘recondition’ the bike to bring it back to as close to factory stock condition as possible. The original owner has personalised the bike to suit his own tastes, but every single original item that had been removed was labelled, boxed and safely stored.

During the “refresh back to stock” exercise in 2020, the following work was completed.
