Gutted.

Post by Eric »

Just found the original rear reflector off my H1A that I have had from new. Worth a fortune fully authenticated by me. Closer look it says Fairylites British Made. :cry: So I have never owned a totally original bike even though I bought it new.

So the repro I have on there now is more original than the original one :smt017
Mind you the one I got must be the only one in the world that was fitted from new which makes it unique and very expensive. :roll: :D
