I found a 1990 UK spec 906.. a bit scruffy but complete, running(ish) and original.
I thought "..a few weekends in the shed with some WD40 and a rag and it'll be a good 'un."
Well, 6 years later.. after engine out, full strip-down, replacement of every chassis bearing, belts, stripping/cleaning/fiddling of the Weber, forks rebuild, endlessly searching Ebay for odd parts, etc, etc.. It's (almost) finished.. MOT'd & taxed.
Just the seat to re-sculpt to correct shape (A previous owner must've cut some foam out. How short must they have been??).
Original discs, brakes, exhausts, chain/sprockets and even correct tyre sizes.
Only non-original parts are a specially made Hagon shock (old leaking Marzocchi impossible to rebuild) and black braided steel brake lines.
Not quite show standard as I want to use it but I'm delighted to finally have such a pretty and rare bike that I nearly bought back in 1993 but chickened out and went Japanese.
