You could save yourself a lot hassle and cash if you went for one of these jap imports, the GB500TT is a jap only variant of the excellent XBR500 which we got in the U.K, they are expensive being S/H only but they tend to be mint and well looked after, miles better than the Royal OilField in every way.

Great programme! (even heard the word 'scooters' mentioned :lol: )
I used to have one of those Ex Army dispatch riders bikes (Matchless 3GLS, solid back end with girder forks) in the 70's.
