I now have a proper working horn and indicators for the first time ready for its MOT test. Previous tests have been passed with no working horn unless the engine is running fast and at best the brake light was only .1 candle power. Now looking forward to the test, no need to blag my way through it. Also found some extra power, the pick up magnet was covered in rust, so now has a better spark and starts better. I removed the shaft drive and swingarm for painting and on greasing it all up, the gear changes (4 gears on T80) are much improved. Only 28 registered bikes on the road which is a shame because they could be an improvement on the cult Honda C50 C90's and much cheaper to buy.
My old ex neighbour gave me his one years ago,changed the tyres,much better getting the rear wheel out then a c90, never rode it,took the new tyres off,then cut it up,

took it down the tip.
