Dropped off the DVLA database, so perhaps scrapped? Could be sitting in someone's shed, though.

Drop 'bars, Dunstall(?) fairing with a clock!  ;) :D

It was just a cheap nose fairing. I fitted an ammeter to it because.. well, I just did, for some reason!

The bike was getting me into trouble too often - too fast and far too noisy! I sold it early 1981 in South East London when I bought my GT750.

Thanks. I loved that bike. But then so did Mr. Plod, who kept stopping me for some reason!
