    Well I bit the bullet at last, and now am the proud (ish) owner of a 94 Trophy 900 in green.

    Having now had chance to further evaluate the work that's needed to make it roadworthy, to my standards !
    It never ceases to amaze me as to the state a bike is in, and yet people are still prepared to put their lives at risk. I did a very, very short round the block ride to verify everything worked and then put it in the trailer. I should have taken more notice as the guy I got it from left it on Prime and I ended up with a trailer full of petrol 400 miles later.

    I intend to make the bike safe and run it for a few months to thoroughly check it all out before I strip it for rebuild as a CRK Roadster.

    The list of what I have found so far

    RHS fork seal leaking badly
    RHS brake caliper very oily
    RHS Brake pads and disk well oiled
    Rear Brake pads below minimum
    Drive chain tight as a bow string ( on either stand and on wheels )
    Front tyre 11 years old ( hard as concrete )
    Rear tyre 13 years old ( didn't think anything could be harder than the front but oh well ..... )
    Speedo cable broken outer and taped together ( insulation tape )
    Front indicators repaired with insulation tape
    Various wiring repairs looking very tatty

    So I have some work to do starting with a service and Fork oil seals.
    Is it possible to remove the seals without stripping the fork leg ?
    Drive chain I'll readjust and check
    And replace the tyres, any reccomendations of what particularly suits the trophy ? other wise I'll start with Bridgestones as the tyres are the same sizes as on my R1100RT.

    And the fuel tap knob on here item 3 is listed twice is one a colour option as its not clear to me

    I'm sure I'll have more questions as I go along but this is my starting point
