Picked this up last night. I dont know much about burners, but i think its really cool and seems (as far as my memory goes) to be all original. Its been in an attic for over 25 years so is in pretty good nick too and only took me a couple of hours to service and clean up.
I sourced it for a friend who had one in 83 and just wants it for his office at work, but i have to say im tempted to keep it for myself and find him another one ;)

Great find, looks like its only missing the rear reflector

:daumenhoch:

cool find :daumenhoch:
how did the bars not pull out when you wheelied it ? :D

This is a great survivor mate, a top find. Looks like an 82 to me, due to the pads. If you did want it as a 100% factory spec bike, the only thing you would need to change are the grips as these look like Porkchop Oakley/Fian copies, and you would need the yellow Viscount with the foam sleeves.
Glynn will put my post right, if I'm wrong. :daumenhoch:

Very tidy. :daumenhoch:

That's ace!!!!! :4_17_5:

Change the grips and that is my first BMX right there. :angel:
Two great survivors on one thread, both with the snake bellies :buck2:

As said, 1982 Mk1 Phase 1 Red Burner. Change the grips if you are fussy, or love her as she is. Lovely survivor. :daumenhoch:

I did wonder about the grips, but thought some Burners did come with the Oakley style ones. Where might i be able to get a pair of the foam sleeved ones?
-
I think mark @ Retrospect had them, I'll get a link up if he has. :daumenhoch:
-
He had them, but is out of stock sorry pal. :daumenhoch:
-
yep thats stock apart from grips.

Try sticking a wanted add up on Burnerworld.
As you say some did come with oakley stylee grips, the 2 generation of the mk1's had them along with maxy cross pedals and a black chainguard being the main difference to yours along with nylon pads for 'if you get too radical' :D
Take note of the track tested tubing too y'all. :coolsmiley:

Think the Max Starr ones are the closest to Viscount. ;)
-
Exactly like the one I got for chrimbo when they first came out.
Love it. Would love to own one original like that but they're overpriced for a lump of Wrought iron. Keep it, it's ace.
-
Was it 82 :shocked: god I feel old.
