Your making it sound so easy, what did you do about the dent in the tank? pull it? Nice job done and it really does look good. would be tempted to flat track her if it was me but then again she looks far to good to do that too.

I just used filler in the dents ,both sides were dented,,she's too good to flat track,not many of this model if any in the country ,quite fond of her,owes me about £1200 in total   |

Very nice paint work, are you a painter by trade? Did you do the pin strip yourself?
Sorry about all the Q's just interested.

Good on you mate, lovely example. I rode a mates one in 1984 and really enjoyed it coming from a 12 hp DT 125 LC. Cheers.
