1990? I think 89 model didn’t have usd forks and 91 model had the faired in headlights (not the blunt nose).
Cracking bikes, mate of mine had an 1100 model same year bought brand new, with a Vance and Hines race pipe on - what a machine!

It is an odd one.That mamod is nice
It looks like it is the version from 1972.
But the whistle insert is a repair. Who did it has dismantled the boiler and fitted the insert from the inside.
As it would of been from the factory.
The super heater pipes are routed as they would of been from a version from 1960. As is the box.
The base plate sticker is a 1970's version, but the Mamod sticker on the boiler frame is from the 1960's
So it is either a very good repair, or a old engine re vamped by Mamod to sell in the 1970's
But it needs a lot of TLC.
New seals, a few solder joints need to be sealed.

But tyres maintain pressure so much better when inflated with nitrogenBeat blowing up tyres with Nitrogen from the extinguisher refill bottle.

It’s not all made in Rock anymore. I can’t recall whether it’s the draught or bottled, bottled I think, but they shifted one of them to Burton. They didn’t tell at the time & the brewers were picked up on it. Its on the label now in small print.
I've only ever used around 78% nitrogen . . . seems to work well . . .

I was thinking the same, except I have too many pipe wrenches already that I rarely use. Decided to pass, even though it is a great deal.

Got these this morning off the local fb, £5... They're not sykes but will do a job!
Odd one at the bottom is apparently a hotpoint puller for washing machines.

No fear of abusing them with the impact gun either.

Was given some MT2 taper drill bits by a friend. The tapers are rough so I've decided to turn them down in the lathe to use with a conventional drill chuck. Also, I took a punt on a spare carb for the D3 Bantam. Got lucky as internally its all in good condition without corrosion or galling of the slide section.
