Thanks for your interest. It had a full engine overhaul in 2007 which included a new crank (which includes big and little end bearings and came to £700 odd quid on it's own), new oil pump, and an endless list (2 sheets of A4) of small parts including "everything it needs".

I took it to the local Harley guy and he said "That's what they sound like". it really is very slight to my keen ear. But in all honesty I don't know whats wrong, my friends say I'm paranoid having spent so much on it, but in my mind there is something amis in there. Hence it's advertised as a non runner. Come and have a look at it, it's a nice example. You could call me on ............. if you like.

Some questions have related to why I refuse Cash-on-Collection;
Last year I sold my car and the auction winner came with a group of lads and tried to intimidate me into accepting a lower price, that's not fair as I had to re-list it, and it happened again, sold it elsewhere in the end.
Don't buy it unseen, but remember it is an auction.

Regards
Marcus.

Hi Bonzo

Say hello to Maz for me, he had about 4000 of my hard earned off me and he can't remember me! :-\ The larger than life YOFFI didn't quite make it to the last UKBEG meet I went to, East Kirkby Lancaster bomber visit if I remember right. Happy days and Sad days.

I'm no longer a registered user (of the forum ) though some may remember me as MadMax, family and business commitments prevent - blah blah blah.

By all means copy my reply to the forum and my regards to you all.
Marcus.

so are you going to take the plunge....
