    Hi All
    Just bought this little beauty
    As you can see it needs a smoke bell, a reflector and a glass but these are all available online.
    This is one restoration I am really looking forward to. I've wanted a KL80 for a good few years now but the prices they fetch had me thinking it was never going to happen.
    As you can imagine I was delighted when I found this fixer upper at a reasonable price.
    There is a dent in the tank that can't be seen in the picture but it's nothing I can't put right.

    One very happy Lampie
    Ozzy

    First of all I wanted to see if it works
    The gent I bought it off had left a full tank of fuel in it so I fitted a mantle, pumped it up and hey presto.

    That's a good start on the lamps road to recovery.
