Hang on to your breakfast!

I know what you mean about hating vultures Paul, a very close and dear, almost life long friend is doing his best to die, he simply detests waking up every day (cancerous brain tumour) his lifelong pasion has been old motors and Indians, he has two of them, and a fairly modern 1200 kawasaki, plus jeep parts, model T parts, two lathes, a mill variuos V8 sidevalve Ford engines etc etc, some equipment we share, such as an engine hoist and portable welders, pipe benders etc etc, some of them are here and some of them are with him and his lady spouse, he has made no provision for disposal after his demise, his lady will not want to retain any of it, its a very tricky situation, I certainly will be willing to help, but to sell/distribute/divide, would always have been his wishes, with the exception of both the Indians, they are what he would realy care about, one is 1200 Chief housed in a BSA chassis, hardtailed and non Indian girder forks, (road bike) the other is his own built Chowt (land speed record chaser) , a Chief in a Sout chassis, very popular long before the word Triton was con concocted, but this bike built only 20 years ago, I am not looking forward at the moment, I don't want to be the vuture, that has already occurred with some jeep parts (M38 chassis, axles, engine) which were taken away with unreasonable payment and when Grizzie (my friend) was not fully complus mentus, taking advantage you might say) I do want to help my friend and his lady, now or later, just don't know how to handle any of it, including the stuff we shared.

But how would you have squeezed it into that hardtail Honda four frame?

It was a Z1000A1 frame. Absolutely no idea if it would have fitted. Would have been great if it did.

I suppose the obvious answer is to talk to them. Ask them what (if anything) you can do. They may not want to talk about it, in which case there's not much you can do except be available if/when you're needed.

Yep, just ask the question.
Did the same for a mate myself, doing was the easy part.

It's a small world. I met the new owner of this bike this morning. There was a guy on FB interested in a Harris Laverda, As he only lives a few miles from me I said he was welcome to look mine over. Turns out he does endurance races around Europe and classic racing in the UK. So I guess that the motor will find a good home. He also has a monty.
