I'll start adding pics of before and after my refurb,but in no particular order and when time permits.Usual banter most welcome!And yes i know the rectum frier needs cleaning!That will be done this coming week.

Who did your frame painting Rich? Looks good

A company called reality motorworks.They did a very good job on the wheels,however i had to get the frame redone as there was some contamination around the headstock and they forgot to mask off the frame number.

Rectifier cleaned

top yoke,looked like previous owner was frustrated and hit the hell out of it!

Now skimmed and polished

Wheels before powdercoat

And after



Will add some more pics very soon,it's quite time consuming so i hope you all enjoy the results so far!

Looking good Rich

on the wheels is this powder coat ?
gotta say im abit behind you ive just taken the motor out , ready for the main man to work his magic on

Yes,the wheels have been powder coated.Don't worry,i've put my spare engine in which looks crap against the nice and shiny frame!

Spare engine in,oil pump refitted

Swing arm and shocker fitted

Rear mudguard installed

Rear seat mechanism fitted,but decided it looked crap.Took it all off and re furbed most of it.Probably could do more,but i may re visit at a later date.



Air box (notice stronger one off air filter support grill)and coolant resevoir tank fitted + foot rests.

Rear mudguard before and after cleaning



Stainless top hats i made to replace rusty old ones + changed fasteners to stainless steel



If the crap weather continues,more photos will follow
PS Hope you like these Bernie

Today i made some stainless spacers to replace dull/rusty ones that go into rear footrests for exhaust silencer hanger brackets(one of the spacers is scuffed,i remade it)

Coming on nicely =D>
