Default Gen 1 naked - spares or repair

Before I stick it on eBay for spares or repair, thought I'd ask if anyone here is interested in a 99 naked curvy in black.

Was running fine until about a month ago when I left it stood for a few weeks and tried starting it with a hydraulically locked engine (common issue I now understand due to the petcock failing).

After changing the petcock along with the oil and spark plugs it's doesn't seem to be firing on the rear cylinder despite getting spark and fuel (judging from the exhaust gases). A chepo compression test kit is reading 135psi (cold) and 165psi after a drop of oil.

This is where I'm throwing in the towel as don't have the time or patience for further investigations - shame as the rest of the bike is in reasonable condition with fork seals done a few months ago and all brake seals and pads done last year.

Straight bars fitted but still have the originals - also R&G heated grips and LED spotlights.

PM me if interested and I can provide further details and pics.
