450 scrambler finished
At last my two year resto is finished.Ridden it for over 250 miles now after having to strip my rebuilt engine to replace second gear and it's bent fork.It is a total hoot to ride.Love it.Roll on spring time.

Excellent! Looks good - congratulations! (Yep, they are fun to ride!)
Give us a bit more info, if you will. What year is it, and where did it come from?
Ciao

hi,
Yes they are Duro tyres.I have ridden the bike for about 200 miles and it rides really nice.It rolls into bends very easily and hasnt felt like letting go at all.I do ride it quite hard as well.So yes great tyres.Look right on the bike too.

Very nice restauration! Maybe the rear mudguard is shortened? Do you have an idea of the exact value of your bike, now?
