The serial number on the frame is a S type number, but boy that's going to be a lot of work. And wheel barrows full of MONEY and time to find all the parts you will need.

ow, that left side pic sure makes those fork tubes look bent. Don't bob it! All the S bodywork is on ebay in England for a song. Mechanically, 1000E parts or aftermarket will be easy to find. Check the carbs to see if they are 26 or 28 mm inlets.

do you measure the inside or outside diameter on the inlets? forks are bent, I got a pair from the E.

Looks like an S to me. I don't know what those tubes are coming up from the sides of the tail though. Sissy bar?

My latest acquistion, an S, is only a tad better than yours looking at the photos (though mine runs and I have a decent fairing). It's certainly not going to be 'bobbed', but I won't be restoring to standard - you risk chasing that elusive part and paying a fortune for something just because it's original and originality has never scored high on my card. I reckon mine will look pretty standard to the 'untrained eye' when finished but will hopefully have some better bits on it.

There's a mouthfull of truth right there.

**KiwiGS** · 11-07-2007, 04:46 PM

This is a pack frame/rack.
Noramlly it would be mounted on the tubes the other way around so you can carry someone on the bike with you.
Then you can carry your pack on the bike instead of your back.
Very common here in NZ.
Hope that answers your question mate.

How much do you think it would go for on ebay?

No idea mate!
Not even sure you can get them in the states.
Here in NZ that one is going for about $100 NZD around $70-80 USD
