I’ve been having one of my HP2’s extensively renovated at Bahnstormer over the last 6 months. I went through a period of HP perversion and actually ended up with 3 of the beasts last year but decided to rationalise down to 2. One for riding and one to restore to as new condition.
The guys at Bahnstormer took it on as a winter project and quoted me a reasonable labour price and work began last November/December. They’ve actually taken photos of the complete build which I’ll post when I get them but I thought I’d show you the almost finished article. The parts list is too numerous to mention but effectively if any part showed any wear or damage whatsoever it was replaced. I guess apart from the engine internals it was pretty much a full nut and bolt rebuild. It was touch and go getting hold of some of the parts as stock levels are pretty much depleted on many parts now. Frame and plastics went off for repainting and came back looking better than new. Before anyone mentions the WP stickers on the forks……yes, they will coming off. Still on the hunt for a mint original exhaust. I've got a couple that are slightly dinged but just want a mint original to complete the bike. Apologies for the phone pics they don't do justice to the excellent work Jason at Bahnstormer has done.

What was the total cost for the restoration? I assume you won't be taking this one off road!
Can't publish the price of the restoration, if the missus ever finds out, I'm toast!
