Lord Burley Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Some of you may remember a few weeks back i bought this very tidy example off of Sirhc..... Well. I sort of got the bug and went out and bought another.......... This really is a lovely example.Fitted with an overdrive which really does make the world of difference.Coupled with its riding on 750,s which also help a lot with the ride and handling.I have only had LtWt,s with the Goodyear 650 Hi-Milers fitted. And they tended to drive you rather than the other way around.I have a set of original Hi-Milers and the proper LtWt rims that i can re-fit for originality. But for the moment i think i will keep these on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Burley Posted April 8, 2012 Author Share Posted April 8, 2012 They are out there. But now you have to travel far and wide to get them. Fortunately for me this one was fairly local. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferretfixer Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 More his n' hers vehicles then Mark? LOL I was told once that the R.A.F fitted an overdrive as standard to a lot of thier lightweights. I dont know how true that is. But I saw one once, & the O/Drive was a lever on the SIDE of the gearbox to engage it. Nice looking vehilces there!

Lord Burley Posted April 9, 2012 Author Share Posted April 9, 2012 Cheers mate. The lever is indeed on the side. But this one has seen no RAF use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
