Hi Col I WISH it were like this when I Stripped it ! LOL Hour's who's counting ?:rolleyes: , The best part of the paint was the tank ! mud gaurds & side panels were a different colour ! frame rusty in places ! & the swing arm was a mix of silver & rust ! & the wheel rims were rusty ! fork legs pitted ! All there but scruffy !
 
The only problem with restoring a bike to better than new condition is that you won't want to ride it for fear of getting it dirty.

Don't get me wrongthe Bike aint going to look like it just came out the show room ! But I think it will look a LOT better than it did ! Not sure about the indicators yet :rolleyes::rolleyes:
 
That is looking really nice :) Silencers almost look nickel plated, rather than chrome, but look really nice for it...

We like them, for some reason :confused: but we're not sure about the handle bars - might just because they are "naked" :D - they need some gubbins on to make em look "right", as it were o_O.... maybe :)
 
:mad::mad::mad: SHUSH Ange agrees about the bars ! Just been in the garage with Ange & she said that she wern't sure about the indicators So we powered them up ! VERY surprised on how much they light up :):) SO they are staying on ! (for now) The seats are only stuck on ! got back rest to put on yet ! Then start puttin stuff on the bars & sorting the wireing out ! I F/IN hate wireing !
 
Never seen this before. I never look in here, cos it is full of Landrovers, and I have seen enough of them to last me a lifetime!

Ansum bike, and very tidy work on it. :)

Reckon Ange is gunna love that.:cool:
