 Post subject: Firebolt XB12R for sale
PostPosted: 06 Nov 2017 10:07 
I’m selling my Firebolt (XB12R) mainly due to a recurring wrist injury. Maz has described it as ‘scruffy’ and it has covered just under 30,000 miles. On the other hand, about 1,000 miles ago he rebuilt the engine and put the bike back together so most of the things that will kill these bikes have been dealt with. The engine now has the harder oil pump gear, it also has new mainshaft needle race (with the corresponding nipple to lubricate it added) and other new parts. Tyres were changed as part of the rebuild. I’m in the process of putting a new battery in because the old one is starting to lose charge and I’m changing oil and filter to finish the bedding in process post rebuild (it was also changed at 500 miles)

I've put a couple of pictures on the Facebook page which I'll add here later today. I'll add to them too but if there's any detail shots anybody wants just ask.

Is £2,500 reasonable given the work done? Is anybody here interested before I go to Ebay?

Pics from front and back. For some reason the left and right views went missing from the camera so I'll try again tomorrow
