Neil Bell’s Collection
Hope you like my Honda CX500 Eurosport from 1982 and my 2000 model Yamaha Fazer. Since lockdown the CX has had complete new Marving exhausts from Wemoto, new headers and collector box from David Silver Spares, new mirrors, polished fork legs, and I’m waiting for my heat shields from Quality Chroming of Hull. The bike still has an MoT, but the fork stanchions need re-chroming as they have some pitting. As to the Fazer, I’ve fitted new Fazer 1000 mirrors for better visibility, a new ‘bubble’ screen, belly-pan, stainless Black Widow header pipes, and wheel rim tape. It’s only got 9000 miles on the clock and it sails through its MoT. Oh, and check out my Katana too!
Alan Singer’s Bultaco
Hello from Florida! I have a soft spot for Spanish Bultacos. I’ve restored a number of them over the last 25 years or so. I was most pleased that you chose to include a couple in your fine magazine.
