My new project

I've just got my new project, a 1971 ST50, according to the DVLA website it was last on the road in 1979.

Looks to be a well worthwhile project and a nice early one

hi is there anyone can help ,i need to know the torque setting for the clutch basket centre nut 1973 st 90 cheers kev

The previous owner had taken it apart and powder coated the frame, forks, headlight she'll and mudguards fairly recently.
I am trying to work out what is missing (mainly exhaust and air filter) and reassemble the lot to hopefully get it running and work on it from there.
I have restored several BSA Bantams over the last few years so this is a different challenge.
The plan is to return it to the road next year, I will get it registered as an historic vehicle and from May next year it won't need an MOT under the new 40 year mot exemption.
I wil post further pictures as the rebuild progresses.

Looks like all the paint work is all nice and sorted, yes next year will mean that most of our little bikes will no longer need an MOT or tax
