Finally, after mastering the art of Photobucket i thought it was time to get the restoration underway. so here we go!
So this was the bike before i started. It now sits in the workshop as a chassis with engine and swing arm.
First things first i got the fairing off and sent away to http://www.motopaint.co.uk" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; for a complete overhaul. it was pretty badly cracked in places and need a lot of plastic welding. But from what i have seen things are looking good.
As for everything else I sent a load of stuff away to be powder coated like the sub frame, handle bar mounts, bar ends, bottom and top yokes, fairing mount, and finally side stand.
the plan was to restore a it back to, or as close to factory standard, but there a a few aftermarket parts making there way on to the bike. So i've got myself set of the Tyga step kit rearsets. A Nitron shock, one with a ride height adjuster, which gets round trying to put a shorter dog bone link on. as for the rest of it. it's completely standard.
Just had the exhaust repaired by Big Stink, and have to say it looks superb, when compared to the before shots, it's a complete transformation.
so cheers for that Big Stink
Anyway hope I haven't bored anyone too much with all that waffle. will update as when bits get done.
