Got a cheap bike on Ebay and made all the mistakes under the sun! Embarassed
Meant to be good enough to ride to the south of France with a long MOT. Well paper was correct but I only got 20 miles before I found the headlights weren't working, nor was the horn. (Fuses?) Back tyre needed air too.
It took me 10 minutes to get it started till I worked it out with the choke! Laughing
Then it was misfiring on the way back. Not sure if it's carbs or plugs or what.
Clutch cable stopped working after 20 miles too. Could still change gear but not stop!!! Getting from Gloucester to Devizes was a challenge.
Oh forgot to say that the mirrors were missing too.

In short - it's a dog!!! But.......

It's mine and it's the bike I always wanted Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy

Hi Chaigh welcome to the forum.
Well you've come to the right place to get the plans for a kennel. Many here have bought a K in a similar state and managed to get them to original condition. All the help you need is right here so ask all the questions you need to and I'm sure that the answers will come.
