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
