Managed to combine a trip to Cambridge with collecting another CT1-C.
I was doing well reducing the collection a little, from seven down to five and a half (CT3 in bits), but this CT1-C was just too good to pass up.
Runs and rides fine and is already UK registered.
Very original apart from Suzuki rear indicators, a replacement flasher unit and it's missing the lower chain guard, but I have an original kicking around and I also have the indicators.
Carb was leaking around the bowl gasket where it was concave, but I flattened that and it seals now.
Also missing original air filter element, so I need to pick one up.
A few dents to deal with on the tank and front fender.
Top end has a tiny bit of piston slap and has 140psi compression using my Gunson gauge compared to 150psi on all of my others, I'll take the cylinder off and check what's needed.
No messing with this one, new brake shoes, a clean up, go through the mechanicals and enjoy it

So six and a half now? I’m still looking for one! ;-)

It seems CT1-Cs are like buses, one comes along and then another.
Here's another very nice all original example that was delivered last night.
Good compression and has a weak spark.
Tanks are in lovely condition inside and out with one small scratch on the fuel tank.
Original toolkit onboard.
Looks like my winter months are going to be filled with getting these beauties cleaned up and back on the road.

Those look ready to ride. Its nice not to have to do a full restoration every time.

“Those look ready to ride. Its nice not to have to do a full restoration every time.”

Pabdt I agree, plan is to sort the mechanicals and leave the rest of the bike as is.
I enjoy a restoration project but these are too nice to mess with.

Frustratingly I can’t view the photos in “my region”. Anyone know why this is?

If you're in the UK like me, it is because IMGUR threw their toys out of the pram and upped sticks when our relevant governing body tried to fine them for insufficient child image protections on their site. Pete is also in the UK, but uses a VPN to access IMGUR.

Thanks for the quick reply. Unfortunately, being a technophobe I don’t really know what that means. I’m guessing there’s not an easy to view the photos? Apologies for my ignorance.
