    Hi

    Cheers :)

    Been after a TBird for years finally got myself this beauty from Dudley 2 weeks ago.

    Owned a Sprint 955 for many years but been riding Ducati's & Yams lately

    Needs some TLC but should keep me busy through winter

    Hi
    Hi

    Have you ever had any starter motor issues ?
    Mine sometimes spins but doesn't engage
    Worried it will shit itself and leave me stranded
