Welcome billyfix, best sources of genuine spares in UK are David Silver Spares, John Oldfield and Lings, also in Holland there is CMSNL but beware postage charges from them! Plenty of aftermarket products available all over the internet, just really depends what you need really :)

Whereabouts in the UK are you? We love project pictures on here and seeing build progress....

Enjoy, don't be afraid to ask anything....the knowledge is here among the many :)

Hello and welcome. :D. As CK said above, we love photos of a work in progress. Start your own project thread. Then you can ask questions etc there and keep your exploits and thoughts in one place. Searching through other peoples projects will give you the idea and some inspiration.

The alternative is to ask specific questions in the appropriate sections here but its up to you how you want to proceed. Usually a mixture of the two is the way to go..... ;)

Thanks for the warm welcome,i live on the coast of the most southerly point of wales,near cardiff airport, here in the vale of glamorgan,we have many spectacular areas which hopefully can be explored on my 1975 c90 this coming summer,regards all Billyfix.

Ha ha! You've rumbled them. They're an information gathering wing of MI5. They even know what you had for breakfast this morning. :lol: :?

Seriously though, are you sure you haven't just forgotten that you entered the information?

It is OK to own a cruiser on this board :oops: :? ....... Really :P

I just checked Admin and Moderator logs to see if your profile has been amended / tampered with and I can tell you it hasn't.

If these bouts of amnesia / blackouts continue, you're probably drinking enough to qualify for free entry to all c90 Club meets.... :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Most probable cause of all of this is the lingering mother of all hangovers after winning the welsh teams grand slam,should be ok for the coming week. :roll:

Nice contrast in bikes there Billy ..... over a 1000cc difference. :D

At one time the "swear filter' was adjusted so if you posted the word Innova the filter would change the word the to Jehovah! I had a lot of Jehovah's in my posts :lol:
