Just finished sorting out this c5 over the weekend ;







It has had the following work done ;

Chassis shot blasted, followed by three stage paint process of primer , top coat and lacquer

Rear chassis "hoop" shot blasted and repainted

Front forks shot blasted and repainted

Front brake caliper shot blasted and repainted

Motor and gearbox assembly dismantled, cleaned and re-greased

New drive belt

New brake cables

New front brake blocks

New decals

Complete set of new tyres and tubes (all three wheels)

Front wheel bearings re-greased

Front fork assembly re-greased

Handlebar stem bearings re-greased

C5alive wiring kit fitted.

Comes with the Dutch registration plate included  ;D

Although the bodyshell has some deep scratches in the usual places (front "corners" & underneath etc.) it has cleaned up well and is a tidy c5 ready for use. The control box and pod work, and both the lights are undamaged and in full working order. All it needs is a battery (not supplied) and a new owner  8)

£375 ovno

And now back home all safe and sound  ;D
Unfortunatly the battery i found in the garage, even after charging, only has enough juice to power the lights, so a new battery is first on the shopping list.

Don't worry Karl, i tried the fully charged battery from my car, and the pod lit up lovely. Aiming to get a battery soon so i can get used to being back in a C5 all ready for a few of the upcoming runs  :)
