Front guard is a bit sad. Can these be resurrected ?

Another attempt to post pics.

Hmm, it did take quite a few kicks to get it going. But to be fair, I was wearing thongs....flip flops .... Japanese safety boots :) Am impressed with the compression. Will check under the tank tomorrow for transducers. I'm hoping to get my wife to help my downsize pics. I will post plenty ! :D One ...

Is that on original valves/pistons/rings ?

Thanks, I will post some pics in the Camel section.

I would be interested in reading the latest ATG. How do I find the members area ?
Cheers,
Ross.
