Today's progress.
Stripped the bike down this afternoon, found afew little horror's of the home mechanic but nothing that can't be fixed.
It's nice to be important, but more important to be nice.

Today's progress
It should be finished by xmas, as i want to pay my house off this year so have to prioritize, so i am giving myself pocket money!
I have to have some dogie welding sorted on the two brackets on the headstock first, then i can start bolting bits back on slowly but surely.
Ive already stripped and cleaned the clocks and powder coated the mounting plate and brackets, with all new nut's & bolt's.

LOL, i had to get it stripped to see what i was up against, now work will slow down.
I have to admit i have done lot's of superbike and muscle bike rebuild's and there isn't alot to these little bike's, they can be stripped to the frame in 5hrs and and i would say be rebuilt correctly in 2 day's once everything has been chromed, powder coated, painted etc, that doesn't inc an engine rebuild though.
I really like this bike as i always wanted one as a teenager but could never afford one.
