Re: Tommy's 1VJ
If you can do the skirt around the mudguard then I know a bloke who would be interested. Whenever I meet him I never take my eyes off my bike in case mine goes missing! His bike is a near perfect restoration....almost.
He just stares at my front mudguard, it's real creepy!

Re: Tommy's 1VJ
£44 for the silencer is a good buy I did'nt see that! still looking out for a rear baffle/end piece for mine.
bike looks pretty good from here though what's the verdict on the tank?.............bopster

I will rip the welded end plate off of the old silencer today and see whats behind it,
you never know there may be a baffle behind it.
Tank ! well thats crudded up and is dented both sides. It should be OK with some work though.

Re: Tommy's 1VJ
Hey Tommy ,you might laugh at this but in Aust your bike would be regarded as in good condition 
The Tenere's were used and abused and not many are left complete.

Re: Tommy's 1VJ
Keep looking for bit for the Tenere and the other day i won this for £44 incl postage
I will pull out the baffles as they look like they do want some cleaning.
On another point i have a spare rear rack for a 1VJ or 3AJ will need stripping and spraying,
if anybody is interested.

Re: Tommy's 1VJ
Here's a picture of the baffle end of the red & white 1vj baffle welded on, thought it was factory done but not sure.
