Ho Ho - Here’s another - pretty good this!

But I’d change the bars and screen back to original!

The service manual for the Helix is a real treasure that can be found here: https://www.repairmanual.com/product/ho ... cpp-131-p/

Like I said I’d change the bars and screen for originals, otherwise it looks ok - but it seems to have been advertised for a looooong time, why?
There are better ones on www.theparking-motorcycle.co.uk but they probably cost getting over here.

Cheers Jim, yes a huge choice but all a long way away. They seem to like to tart them up with chrome in Denmark! .
Factor in getting it home without actually seeing it plus paperwork etc and I reckon it doesnt make it viable. I reckon three will suddenly turn up all at once in the next village to me , isn't that how these things work?

Hi Andrew, it seem a shame that so many Helix are so far away but there must be good ones amongst them.

The screen's been cut down on that white US model, but the bars look stock to me?
