The photo on the left shows that someone has hacked off the rear sub-frame, the rear mudguard is not standard, and the rear dampers are missing. Chopping off the rear sub-frame has also taken away the rear damper mounts. The photo to the right shows that the leg shields are missing, there are no dampers on the front fork, the flywheel cover is not to be found and the air filter on the carb is from other bike. The front mudguard is not from a SA nor is the silencer. The paint and chrome are not the right SA colors. What the heck have I let myself in for?
The photos below show the right side and the missing rear damper, chain guard, lack of kick starter, broken kick starter quadrant, seriously bent and squeezed oil lines and an interesting hand shift. There is no wiring, the dynamo and battery are long gone, and what control cables there are are not connected to anything. This looks like it is going to be a very long restoration and I have not even got into the engine yet.
