Saul Posted November 12 Share Posted November 12 Well my T300 Hinckley was delivered today. it is old and was cheap but I am chuffed to bits with it. Somebody has thrown a lot of money in consumables at it in the last couple of years. Starts on the button and sounds as sweet as these things ever get. I have no history apart from what I can glean from the DVLA MoT check. I can see a lots of tinkering in my future. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have always liked the Sprint in black...bet that beast would sound awesome w/ an aftermarket pipe. All in good time. I am chuffed with it, needs lots of cosmetic TLC but is pretty spot on mechanically as far as I can tell. Newish discs and pads, hel braided lines, tyres less than 2k on, new back shock, new chain set. Needs a new fuel tap but I can get a kit for that. Also have no clue about valve checks so will need to get that done before to long. Apart from that a fluid change and all should be good to put it on the road. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you say fluid change does that mean you'll be washing it again. Looks good , enjoy. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
