picked the paintwork up today [ tank and top fairing not 100% but ok,so
left them with the guy and he is sorting it.][just a couple of teeny imperfections]
he has done a good job. even sprayed all the panels on the inside. just a shame i have got to go back to derby again next week to collect the top fairing and tank.
[so i will have yuor bike finished by next week colin]

will post pictures up soon

Can't wait to see the old girl again. I think this weekend I better get the garage tidy and squared away for her home coming. :P


Of course I hope everyone knows, it will have the shit photographed out of it, from every angle, and then posted everywhere. :mrgreen:

Hi Martin,
Eventually managed to track down replacement rings, pins and clips from Wiseco so as soon as they arrive I will give you a shout.
The engine has been apart for +2years it will seem very very strange not seeing all the bits stored around the garage. I will dig out as many of the consumable items as I have at hand including the modified head gasket.
Cheers,
Bernie :D

Hi Martin,
Have you got a 300 motor hidden away?
The rings I am getting are the 61mm RGV ones, do you need a set of those?
If so I will sort it out in the morning.
Cheers
Bernie :D

Here here. That's nice.

There've been so many nice restorations on here since I joined the forum, I can't help but think it would be great to see them all together.
