Looking very nice Tufty, imo best of the modern gs to keep. Mikes doing a lovely job.
Btw when are you next there. I'd like to see it/ you and chat to Mike about some work on mine.
FD, you’d best arrange with Mike, however, I’m around next week apart from Wednesday. Be good to see you.
By the way, Mike is doing a lovely job. He’s got a reputation for it, as you know.
I can't believe that's the bike I saw on the service day back in late March. It looks amazing!
Have the wheels been powder coated and re-built? (Along with a load of other parts powder coated, of course).
Looks close to completion
It does look great. I’m really pleased with it so far. The bike had suffered a lot of corrosion so pretty much everything has been repainted except the yellow bits. The entire frame has been powder coated, along with the barrels, heads and covers, and the gearbox.
The main engine block has been spray painted, as not much of it is actually on display once rebuilt, and apparently it’s a massive task to strip and rebuild. I was happy to follow Mike’s lead on this.
The wheel rims and hubs have been powder coated and rebuilt. The handlebars were cleaned and painted, and gone to a new home, Mike’s fitted some Renthal bars with a modification for the heated grip wiring.
Like you say, near completion, however, I’m happy riding my 1200 until Spring.
