looks complete and in good condition, I bought one new in 1973 when working for Yamaha,  restored the one in the photo. Great for hill climbing.

Curious if you need the NOVA and DVLA for a dirt bike?

Or are you going to register it for the road?

Yikes!  That monster will be a handful on the road! 

Someone must have swapped the original ignition out (which is a good thing on or off road.)
