Hello there would like some advice.
Been reading about the C5 a lot trying to find one everywhere.
Then in the local paper one was advertised so i went to have a look.
He said he wanted £95 for it which for a C5 seems cheap to me, having seen rip off ebay prices…
Now for the issues... kicked myself for not taking a camera for reference later.
So here’s what was missing from what I could see.
1. The back brake needed a new shoe? Not sure if that’s the term. Can these be bought?
2. The front wheel covers were missing. Can these be bought?
3. The instrument pod was missing. Can this be replaced with components today/ replaced with original. (I really liked the idea of seeing how much strain was on the motor)
4. Wiring loom missing altogether apart from where it entered the control box (not really an issue was gonna rewire it anyway)
5. Handle bar foam.
6. Thermal cut out wiring (couldn’t see it so presume missing)
Good bits:
Has all the wheels.
Has a drivebelt nicked from a mower. Which seems to fit well.
The motor seen running.
Light colour motor clip things not the brittle ones.
Has original documentation… tho he says he’d have to dig it out.
It has the handle bar grips.
Gearbox seemed in good condition.
Has the dark grey boot with the plasticard insert.
The frame seems ok, has been rewelded at some point and recoated in paint.
Minor issues:
The red back light surround was damaged in the top left corner.
Needs all new tyres.
Needs a rewire.
Original push button is missing.
Also the rubber bit below the handlebar was a bit ropey can these be found?
So again its in pieces, any and all views welcome and appreciated.
Said I’d give him an answer tomorrow.
Cheers guys
