Hi Mark, good to hear from you, I am so lucky to have that single photo of PGN20P as I never took pictures of anything, fortunately a friend of mine took photos of anything that stood still long enough.
The bike still had the 'race' type fairing and clip ons when I bought it, they were very quickly junked, but I do recall being surprised that the fairing appeared to be a 'proper fit' around the radiator etc....perhaps it was a GT750 fairing?
I wonder if you recall what the seat was....I dont remember having any issues with it so it must have been a reasonable fit.
I hope the new A model is still running well, I have just completed my second M model which seems fine apart from a leaky fuel tap.
Naturally I keep an eye out for 'our' old bike, if I ever find it you will be the first to know.
Regards............Mick..........kettle738

Hi Mick, Yep I've got to confess about the seat, the original rusted through and broke in half, I couldn't get a replacement RE5 seat, so fitted a poorly fitting GT 750 one. I owe you an apology as I've not changed that clock you sent me, I promise to do in in the next few weeks ......
I'm loving the A showed it at the North Devon show and had loads of interest, hope to get the M finished so I can show both this year .....
kind Regards
Mark

Hi Mark, no worries, as and when, it's not for me but a mate who needs one. Good to see that pic of the bike on the beach at Greatstone, which is about five miles from me now.
I will send you a snap of my latest M model.
It's interesting to see that PGN20P is back on the road as I looked a while back and it was shown as SORN'd, it can't be too long before the owner pops up on this forum surely?
Best regards...........Mick.
