This MAY be useful to you, but it might also be a bit too late!

I saw a UK (twin headlamp) LMF that had been broken, criminally, because the engine had been used for a quad. The rest of the bike was present and the owner was thinking of selling off the remains of the bike or as parts I think. Everything else from the bike was there and in pretty good condition, including the tank in good original colours, side panels, and front UK twin headlamp fairing.


Bike was parked outside, Motorcycle Junction, 60 Mill Hall, Aylesford, ME20 7JN, 07955 916191


Hope that helps, PLEASE let me know how you get on.

Thanks Bob, roughly how long ago did you spot it?

 

I'd guess about 3 weeks ago. Give them a call, it may still be there

 

If Bob's find doesn't work out I'm happy to measure up/photgraph my XL600R tank for you. Haven't got a spare though.

 

Thanks Jim, I appreciate that. Will ring up about that lmf on Monday to see if it's still there, if not then a measure up may be in order. On another note, I got a complete generator cover with ALL intermediate gears for the starter from german ebay last week, so I will have a cover going spare for a few beer tokens if anyone is interested?

 

Well, I called the bod at motorcycle junction & the lmf was a customers so not for sale.
If Jim would be so kind as to take some measurements or photo's or both, that would be great!
I suppose the important ones would be, front tank rubber mounting width, overall length of tank & the width of the mounting bit at the rear of the tank. Also, does the rear have two bolt holes or one?
Many thanks in advance!

Clayton.

 

Hi Clayton,

I'm away from home 'till Sunday. I'll measure up for you once I'm back.

Jim

 

Ill be interested

 

I take it your talking about the cover?
