The competition just got smaller
It's no yoke this bike building lark
Well today all I've done is paint the top and bottom yoke. So tomorrow I'll put the bearings in and pop the yokes on. I've decided to get the engine bead blasted so found some pro's who do alot of classic stuff so I'll take it to them on Tuesday.
Were well on the way

I'm not worried
After all camille isn't just an airhead
Just hope I can get all the little bits done and assbled in time. You know how it goes, I'll pop in the shed and do a couple of simple jobs kinda 30mins work. Bugger me 3 hours later and you've still not got it finished. That's what happened today while trying to fit the bearings and spray the yokes
Arr well keeps me out of trouble.

been a busy old day
been and dropped all the engine and bits off for bead blasting so should have that by the end of the week. got the yokes all ready for assembly and checked them in the frame. colour match is near spot on so i'm happy. also just managed to get my hands on a pair of marzocchi fork stickers as per the original so very happy bunny as i've been looking for some of these for about a year now. Tanks off being stripped and then its off for a spot of welding before the paint goes on by which time the stickers should be ready so that will be good.
Anyway here's the yokes and as they are in the frame.

looking good Si.
today i's been test fitting
just to see what its all going to look like. she's very white all in all though i'm happy things are looking good. some bits arrived today so i've now got some very nice tank badges and i've also managed to source the original type front mudguard which is a Maico ufo item, it even has the air vents in the back. I've also been to see the sticker man who's doing all the decals and supplied him with a few more to do including the Antar logo and the michelin ones.

Ohh my word I want a seat like that and I WANT IT NOW 
you may change your mind
after sitting on it for any period. firmer than a firm thing think of it as a breeze block with some suede over the top

Yeah but you still look awesome innit, where do I get one
Easy
You go buy n ex Paris Dakar bike, hpn have a couple knocking about,at let you have one for scrap value
Serious though hpn do sell a similar seat but I'd have a strong drink to hand when they tell you the price.
