Hi Peter

Not teching you to suck eggs, but USA is your best bet for getting any of these items. Last time I looked at their catalogue, Accesory Mart (DomiRacer) had spare frames/CS parts etc. Also, try John Deidrich of the USA AJS/Match OC, or Mike Partridge of Walridge Motors Canada - both linked from this website.

Best of luck

Tim

Good evening
USA is good for parts but I think we all have to think about
the shipping costs [and not forget : our customs]

I only buy something from the USA if it has a profit to buy overthere
I mean when you buy a lod damaged G80CS barrel that need a new liner and fins broken with a shipping price of 100+ dollar that it would be better to look around in Europe

once I shipped a G85 frame and by boat [ also possibly with US postal service ] was not possible to big.....by US postal air package to big
the only way was the expensive UPS [courier] and it costs me 325 dollar and lucky me the custom note was written with antique motorcycleframe
so I only had to pay customs on the shipping price....no more
so they [the customs] know how to cheat in Holland
but it was all worth it because there is not much G85 in Europe
neither P11 so we have to go the expensive way

best way shoud be : a company shipping boat service
a lot of USA guy`s even don,t want to struggle by shipping to Europe
I once spoke someone who thought Holland was in the bush ....He thought the world stopped at Florida
He [the Florida guy] never shipped outside the USA

cheers Frank

Shortstroke 500CC for sale on Ebay , looks a bit odd unless you want it for the engine.

looks to have incorrect oil tank , air filter , toolbox plus , indicators etc.. other things I'm sure.
No indication if the bike is based on a genuine CS ( at least in part ) , as no details of frame /engine

Yes the above items are incorrect as well as seat, controls & other bits. It looks usable as-is or could be returned to original easily enough. Cheers, Don.

You may be able to sell the new owner one of that stash of left hand oil tanks Don. The frame and eng numbers all line up. Bud Ekins must have owned every CS that came into the States

Bud built up CS bikes out of whatever was in his shed. I've seen many & most or all of his were bitsa bikes, usually with all black wires. They always commanded high prices due to his name being attached. Cheers, Don.
