I guess it would have been easier to buy a bike then break it down so I know what goes where, but I've never been one to do things the easy way.
It should be interesting to see what's missing/broken/bent/beyond repair. At least for £30 I can't really lose.
Wish me luck

Ah, you've met our resident non-believer. So far I've not had the exhaust fall off my bantam
Looks complete, you have a PM. Do you need fork legs? I see the mudgaurds are there after all.

To be honest, one of the boxes is a bit shoddy. Perhaps I should swap it for a Bonneville...
It came with new fork legs, piston, gasket set and a few other bits. I think I'm short of a sidepanel, a shock, and various other bits I'm going to pick up as I go along...

i'd suspect the box will stay together longer anyway
at that price you cant loose even if you just fiddle with it & go 'ooooh' & 'ahhhh' at the bits but never build it.
