Oh, not nice, we had too many of those come into the shop. Nearly all had crashbars installed.

The valves are undoubtedly just fine on that top end!

While we are on the subject of valve damage", this was my R80/7.

I had a little incident with a logging truck in Tasmania in the early 1980s.

I was a good bike :cry:

The leg was alright - the foot needed a bit of attention though.
