Biting the Bullet

Just dropped back in here, great to read/see all the progress :-D
 
Looks like my KH250 restoration but in a much larger scale, wish I had the know how for this!
What French company are going to use for the tank wrap?
 
Great pics and good luck with build to get just what you want Ozz. :thumby:
 
Crikey and fair doos. Not in a million years would I consider such an overhaul. Awesome though .
 
Shocks are back from FirefoxRacing. Swing arm and Final Drive can be fitted . Just need some boots for the wheels now.

Was at Firefox last week talking about shocks.. YSS units is what the supply along with Nitron and Ohlins... The YSS do look like nice units... what have you had done to yours?
 
Just a rebuild. All the internals have been changed for new, new oil and new gas. I was going to swap to another spring but I was convinced not to by the ESA Technician. He said for my weight and solo riding with the occasional luggage the original springs were fine. I'm interested to find out what £500 feels like now.

i poured over the YSS shock that is laid out under the plexiglass in front of the counter. Pure automotive porn.
 
got to say, Im tempted by one for the front (my bike is non-esa.... ).. they do look good dont they... and maybe a progresive spring?
 
Looking good.. and it lives!.. always a bonus when you first turn the key after a re-build :)

Love the finish on the wheels.. fantastic
 
Just to remind you to bolt that rear wheel to the bike before taking it off the centre stand :D
