I picked up the Ranger today, a wet and windy Devon day.
No surprises, I knew what was missing and what needed repairing. The most obvious repair required is that headlamp ears are needed.
I bought some reproduced Indian made copies of the Tiger cub brackets as they seem to be the same.
Obviously one of the previous owners was quite handy with a hacksaw as the binnacle - as usual has been cut away to aid acceleration.
Just as well I am getting a few cast as this happens too so many of the American bikes.
The tank will go to Jason at CW Classics who always does a great job at making dents vanish.
The one missing part I have not got for this Ranger is the rack, so I will have to decide to either try and copy one I have, or as it is not going to be totally original to have a different style of rack - who knows.
