jaycee Posted July 2, 2021 Report Share Posted July 2, 2021 Yes, 2024. I want to do it up the way, ten years after my first run down the way. So I picked this up tonight. He's had a lot of interest from folk down south, which surprised him. The I told him about the LDD/LDC and that I probably knew some of the interested parties😄 Anyway, without further ado, feast your eyes on something that is actually worse than that SV650 I brought back to life some years back... Yes, it's a Deauville 650. In metallic beige. It has sat outside for 4 or 5 years, near the West Coast and it looks it! The silencer has fallen off (I have it), someone has liberated the master cylinder, the key is snapped off in the ignition barrel, and the gear linkage is in one of the panniers, because it was potentially being adapted into a trike for a one-legged rider. I have a V5 and it will get SORNed as soon as it is in my name officially. I'm glad I've got three years to sort it, because I'm going to need the time! 17 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blow_away Posted July 3, 2021 Report Share Posted July 3, 2021 What size master cylinder do you need Jase? I think I've got a standard ZX10-R one somewhere, probably 5/8 or 16mm. Anything bits shared from a Pan European let me know too, my buddy Jim (not Jumm) has a stash of Pan shite hanging around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know Al, I'll need to do my research. I think the calipers on the front are actually 2-pot sliders. I'll have a look later on when I get it out of the van.

firebeast Posted July 3, 2021 Report Share Posted July 3, 2021 Nice find,, other than sorting the bits, which if honest is next to nothing really,, , I have no doubt that you can leave it drained of fuel for 3 yrs, lob a battery and fuel and it will fire up.. BARGAIN and quite jealous, as those things will lap it up.. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IforB Posted July 3, 2021 Report Share Posted July 3, 2021 I think @wesifumeshould donate a spares bike. This would have two effects, firstly allow you to stay in budget and provide the bits and secondly stops me wondering how a man who rides a 1098 can also ride a Dullville! This is likely to be a proper LDC weapon. Comfy, reliable, decent tank range, good weather protection etc. Looks like the mighty FZ6 will have some competition! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like you were made for the deauville then really.. 😁 In all seriousness, I think its a superb mile muncher with a shaft drive and bulletproof motor than can hustle along nicely at 90 all day long.. They just need great tyres to help in corners , like bt45, that grip like hell and last for ages. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So badly that a run to South Queensferry to park up amongst the big bad dentists and insurance actuaries on the Hogs on a crusty old Deauville seems positively exciting! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking pink/blue Cancer Research vinyl, covered in as many LDD/LDU challenge stickers as I can scrounge, at least for time leading up to the run.

I was thinking tiger stripes, but pink will grab the attention better.. Maybe leave any bird shit etc to fester, so it looks like a bit of thrush on a nice pink throbbing v-twin 😏 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkati Posted July 3, 2021 Report Share Posted July 3, 2021 i'm not sure of the compatability but i'm stripping a donor bros of bits and have a few other things of use like hid lights if you wants?

Bung up a shopping list here and i'll try to help with bits. I'll definitely be in touch. What size is the front master cylinder for starters? Possibly the ignition switch, key and the seat lock too, as I'm going to have to come up with solutions to the broken key in the ignition, as that one key operates the locks on the fairing cubby, seat release and panniers too. I will have to get into it once I've managed to clear some room in my ridiculously crowded garage. Extra lights will never go unwanted obviously, it was one of my first thoughts, as I recalled fumbling about in the dark with the feeble lamp on the XJ previously. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
