This is a slightly strange one. Looks somewhat neglected, and with some signs of bodging. For all intents and purposes, it looks like an SF1 but with some iffy fixtures and fittings, but it comes up in the listing as a 1969 bike.........which it simply can't be. Headlamp, Lucas batwings, MkII drum brakes, fuel tank, side panel badges (easily stuck on I know), ND clocks........all wrong for 69.........besides which, SFs didn't exist then. Not had a good look at the carbs though.
A good few nuts and bolts don't look right, and a little peep of the wiring you see between the side panels doesn't look too clever. I guess the indicators have gone walk about too.
Historic vehicle, so free road tax, but I guess plenty of SF1's would have sneaked in under the pre 7th of January 1973 barrier. I guess a private plate is fine, but that still shouldn't bring up a bike as being a 1969 model (unless the frame and engine are from an earlier bike, but I'm not sure when the twin re-inforcing spars came in to play, and this bike has them).
