Thanks for the support guys. I'll take a full photo and put a list of everything that I have done as soon as I have recovered the seat.

Where did you source the decals from?
Looking like I need to find a project now
They are on Ebay for £49, bugger to fit though
I bet - that's far from a flat surface. They look great in the pics though, and I think an 'homage' the P-D paint scheme is a really nice thing. I'm looking forward to seeing it all fitted back together.
Those front discs look like they are knackered.
What a transformation. It will now be eminently nickable, should have made it road worthy and ridden it as it was.

The seat covers finally arrived but they sent it with a 1150 GS Logo 
so I can only fit the main seat cover for now. Once I removed the old cover I could see that at some point someone slashed the seat but it hasn't effected the end result. It was a bit of a battle but we got there in the end.

Getting there, still a few parts to replace but it's in one piece now, running and off for the MOT next week. I'm happy how it's turning out. I have to find a way of making it either lower or the seat somehow lower. I'm not tall and I really don't fit it at the moment. Strange really because I have a 1200GS and managed ok on that. I might buy another seat and make it narrower, so the seat height is the same but I should be able to reach better.
It's a bit different to what I started with 6 weeks ago

I've been thinking of painting mine a similar style (White + Dakar stickers)
Do you mind me asking , what type of paint you used ?
Did you use any special undercoat on the plastics?
Did you lacquer over the stickers ?

I don't mind at all. OK I used 2 pack white paint then after fattening off I applied the decals, then I applied a 2 pack clear coat. I use spray equipment but you can by the 2K paint and clear coat in aerosols now, these are activated by a tab on the bottom of the can so that the paint and hardener can be mixed inside. This gives the hardest finish.
