betarich Posted December 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 I think my only option is to bite the bullet fix it and get some enjoyment out of it, I don't think there will be enough parts on the bike to break and recoup anywhere near what I paid. I've spoken to Alan from feet up today, really helpful guy so all been well should have the parts this week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mont315 Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 (edited) I rebuilt mine this time last year with all genuine bits from sandifords, eg mains, seals, piston kit, gaskets total bill was £514 most expensive part was the crankshaft they don't do a conrod kit so had to have a new crank @£195, barrel replate was £140 the rebuild was worth every penny in my opinion they are a fantastic bike love mine to bits as mentioned in a previous post http://www.langcourt.com/page16.html for replating barrel Edited December 24, 2013 by mont315 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axulsuv Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 (edited) Being a straight up kinda guy , I'd VISIT the seller ... But you did ride it before you handed over payment didn't you ? And his Karma will get him in the end , ie. you get what you give .
