didn't smell too good so I siphoned as much as I could and got fresh non-ox..

And boy that gas cap was a bitch to get off, lubed it up with graphite and working good now.

I have a windscreen and mounts (minus allens) for a Bassa. It may be a little larger than the sport one--I can't remember what model it is.

It's a bit (ahem) dusty, been hanging in one garage or another for some years. You may need to get some new grommets. I think this is a clearview replacement windscreen. Original mounts.

Hey, THAT looks familiar - kind of like the one you pointed me at a few years ago :-)

That's the combustion chamber of the turbo shaft. It is supposed to be on fire. You just don't usually see it but the case and fairing fell off.

How do you like the leather bags? I'm getting a 99, pearl white Bassa for some friends that has nice Hepco Backers 40s. They would prefer leather.  Wanna swap?
