Hi All,Hopefully below there is a pic of my project lc,since this pic I have had the frame,swing arm and other odds and ends powder coated,the wheels have been stripped, painted and laquered(will see how the laquer holds up) and new rubber fitted the tank and panels have all been stripped ready for paint and have now stripped the motor complete to rebuild the crank and eventually the whole motor. Have also been buying lots of bits from flea-bay,yes there was lots missing and also discoverd Norbo`s shop (Hi Norbo,Andy from Dorset ere) and found him a great help and always up for a chat. Anyways enough of my yapping. Cheers for now,Andy. Oh forgot to mention going to keep the bike fairly standard.  |

Int it nice when a plan comes together ;D ;D so what next - gotta to keep the momentum going now ;D ;D it does look the bizz Thanks for the kind words mate,gonna start on the Allspeeds next week cos they need to be paint stripped and some dodgey looking welds need to be ground off and a split in one of the down pipes needs to be sorted,gotta get the carbs into work to be stripped and and vapour blasted Still got lots to buy ie loom,fork legs (chrome is pitted) rear inner muddy,switch gear,h/lamp,ignition switch. Luckily one of the painters at work is doing my panels and tank so waiting for them but no hurry yet. The wheels have been painted,new tyres,new bearings fitted so they can go into the frame as soon as I buy a rear sprocket. So no shortage of stuff to do  Will update more soon,Cheers Andy. |

Looks great mate, you've obviously put a hell of a lot of hard work in. It looks super clean; sorry to hear about the pipes but you won't care when you're gunning the back roads!
