Being Q is no longer deemed undesireable and has certain advantages.   Good luck with this Mike. 1994. You may need it.  |

Might still be worth soaking the bores for a while before turning the engine over, but then you know this already. Take no notice of MM (he wants to get his on the road first ). Soft tail. Keep it simple for now, just get the on the road and ride that pig. |

Looks like it could possibly be an old Metamachex one way to tell is there will be a number stamped into the brace on the frame spindle mounting. I have an old catalogue with the part numbers so can check for you |
