Hello guys and gals,
I'm new to the forum, having just "invested" in an '88 Revere. The old girl runs well, but is pretty tatty having been through a dozen different owners and 60k miles in her life. I hope to tidy her up a bit first, and then run it and make other small improvements over time.
I'm sure I'll be back to tap into the forum wisdom over time, but would appreciate a couple of hints to get me going in the right direction. To get her ready for her MOT next month I'm going to need to replace the exhaust silencer/end can. Other bits needed shortly will be a r/h handlebar, some plastic side panels, and bushings for the clutch lever and gear change, to take up the sloppy play. If anybody can recommend a good source for decent used parts, or good value new parts (apart from the usual stuff to be found on Ebay), it would be much appreciated.
Cheers, MacD

Cheers, MacD Hi MacD...welcome to the forum. ;D Suggest you check out the forum Library as well, for favourite suppliers like David Silver and Wemoto, the NTV/Revere manual and microfiche.... There are plenty of suppliers to choose from.... including exhaust manufacturers etc (see links below): growell.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=library&action=display&thread=724growell.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=library

Thanks for the welcome and info Just discovered the wonders of Q-Bond, so most of the broken lugs on the plastics are repaired. I'll look through the links for some other bits. MacD
