And could be put back to factory in an afternoon. Also a couple of t140 bonnies the last one I just sold a year ago was a Harris 140 750. Owned that machine for over 15 yrs and did a complete ground up rebuild on it, and I mean complete. Even hand made some stainless bits and pieces for it that can't be bought for love or money. At one point I even pestered the amal factory for a set of new carbs as they didn't make them any more being what was known as the 1 1/2 rather than the 1 or 2's which were the common carbs and after six months of calling them every week they finally relented and made a run of three sets for sale. Miss that bike.

Without pictures that is all just lies
