So, now it's running i have spoken to a few people and decided what to do with it. I am going to do a sympathetic restoration on it. This means for me i will get the frame and swing arm powder coated, and the black parts like engine side cases, pedal cover, stand, rear light and No plate bracket etc done also. I will get the few silver parts, Headlamp bowl and brackets, chain guard, Fork lowers, toolbox, front mudguard brackets powder coated as well.
The engine is fine, i will clean up the ally and the powder coated side cases with new decals will set it off a treat. I am keen to keep as many OE parts as I can on the bike, the exhaust and mudguards are marked, but will autos up a treat. Rear mudguard has a small split and some light marking, but this is going back on. I am really not sure what to do with the wheels as yet. They do need doing buy as i say i am not sure wether to buy new rims and re-lace with new spokes, or have them powder coated as well..
Here are some pics I took today..
