I remember those bikes well. There were never many around. A friend of mine's boyfriend had one, back in 1975. I was always envious. (of his girlfriend also lol)
I don't remember seeing any back in the day, but I always thought they were unique. I don't think very many would be envious of this bike in its current condition. 😄😄
I have the same issue with the cold it's really frustrating having to wait for the right time to get paint on stuff . Man I am in a similar position with mine I ended up getting another motor and then a frame and there are so many bits that need doing and renewing and I haven't even turned the newer engine over yet. I know I'm over my head but I can not give up and learning stuff as I go , a rare bike just means less parts available . Mine was a US model only not available at the time in the UK so that kinda makes things more expensive . But how good is it going to feel when you get the motor running and then ride the bike has to make it all worth it .😉 great watch 👍
@@crumblymal8479 So im not alone! 😄When you hear your bike run for the first time it will all be worth it. Yes, you will learn alot as you go, but you will know that bike inside and out, and will know exactly what has been done and how to replace parts in the future. They sell pictures and they sell puzzles, puzzles are for those who like the satisfaction of putting the picture together themselves! 😄
Watching your diagnosis and sorting process is always educational and enjoyable. Not sure if I missed it earlier John, but whats bad on the frame? I know price can be an issue, but are most parts available or are there any unobtainables? Thanks for another great great video! Really helps getting through these cold winter days👍.
@@soma1292 Thanks! The sidestand lug has been cut off the frame, also the seat attachment points were cut off. For what it would cost to fabricate and have the parts welded on, I think it was cheaper (I paid 200 dollars) to get a good used straight frame. The frame has good paperwork and the serial number is very close to the one on the current bike. Price is always an issue with parts, someone has a new starter solenoid on eBay for over 300 dollars, geez, I could buy another crappy bike for that much. 😄. You can find parts cheaper from other countries, it just takes time to get them. I search for parts every day, eventually you'll find what you need!
@ Mine is a '67 UK bike but the right hand switchgear is a change I'm making as it has the turn signal switch built in. I got the switch from a guy in Thailand so I assume that the Asian / Japanese models had this switch type. The wiring loom has been replaced with one from Ebay, again a Thai product that has the turn signal leads ready. The loom is decent quality too, I was quite surprised for the £70 asking price.

I have a 71 750 Four sitting in my garage. Would love to see it on the road again.
@@fv1291 Did you park it for a reason? If it's just been sitting, it might not take much to get it running again.
You do enjoy a challenge. Another ton of work but I am sure it will get sorted.
@@blearyview2254 I'm not sure how much of the challenge I enjoy 😄😄, but i do like the feeling of getting them running and riding! Thanks!
My house back east had an unfinished room in the basement just for shenanigans like painting.
I tried painting in the basement once, wife could smell it upstairs. That was the last time. 😄

Hi mate, I've sent you an email of my disassembled Bomber starter switch to give you an idea of how it's put together. Hope this helps.
@@paulirving989 Thanks, i just looked at it and responded. Not sure why they used 2 different types. What year is yours?
