I know about Franks pricing, but at this price you would expect everything to be right.

If it's Adrians old bike, there can't be too much wrong with it?

Front indicator stems look wrong, should be same as H2?
The footpeg rubbers on a UK one should be solid and not have the bolt and washer through them?

What makes you think that they are H1B stripes?

Hmm. not sure about that, although photos can be deceptive. They were obviously sold as S2 as they have the tail stripe,

I am not an authority on tank decals so this is only my opinion as these are the only colours that I have seen S2 stripes.

I paid 400 quid for that one owner bike in 2008 and saved it from the scrapyard.I documented the story in a club mag back then.
Oh and included in that price was a one owner RD 350B and boxes of nos triple and rd parts. :

And for clarity based on the speculative asking price of that 65k S2 the S1 that I did must be valued at 20!
Happy days back then

Hey Adrian, you're back!
So put us out of our misery, are the stripes correct (orange/blue as per the brochure)?
