Hi Gordon,
There are a few in Holland - Landsend Motorcycles, 4585 Hulst on the West Coast in Zeeland, Verstegen Motors in 5374 Schaijk not far from me and Mr Jim in Castricum up Amsterdam way. You can Google these for all the details. Be warned, an engine rebuild costs anywhere from 2500 euros to 3500 euros depending on the condition of the engine (you can buy an early Hinckley for that kind of money). Personally I would take down the top end to check the condition of the cams/followers and see if you have any play on the big ends. If all is OK then all you need is a top end rebuild, which shouldn't cost more than 1000 euros, possibly much less. Most Bonnie problems are related to electrical issues, oil leaks, carburation, top end wear and incorrect ignition timing, the bottom ends seem pretty strong as long as the oil is changed regularly. You don't say what the issues are with your machine - maybe just some TLC and bit of mechanical/electrical work will sort things. All depends on your budget and what you want to achieve with the old gal. HTH and LOL. Cheers.
