So had a mess with the vinyl cutter at work and made some decals just to make it a bit difference until the respray. It's far from perfect as the other decals had been lacquered over but it is different again.   Other panels still to do   |

  Don't get me wrong, it's still a mess, but it is different! Roll on the respray. |

Goodluck with the registration process, have to say considering you've kept the same colour it really is looking good. Still don't like the colour but it actually works.
What colour you going for in the new year?

 After this it's had a second hand but nice genuine rear light, new airbox panel and chromed brake pedal, oh and some fatter replica rear shocks. Currently on display at Granby's. |

 The before pic, 32 years sat in a barn, 3 months resto that was meant to be a 2 year project. My 1st resto, I got hooked to say the least. Paid £400, spent £3500 turning it into what it is now. |

great stuff - you going standard or hybrid ? Hi can I know the process on how you remove the dial and zero the odometer? Will like to DIY mine soon. |

There's a thread on here to strip the speedo, I just followed that, fairly straight forward.

 Now it's on the road these are letting it down along with the fork bottoms so a bit of elbow grease whilst its raining to make it a bit nicer is in order. |

Ok, it's now back to standard thought that you thought it was now green! |

No but I did like it in green

No but I did like it in green If I could have got the old decals off without making a mess I might have left it alone! |

 Happy with that, will suit the patina of the rest of the bike without me stripping it for a full rebuild. |
