Looking pucker mate.
Definitely making me itch for another project! Although no way I can afford to do this at the pace you're doing it at!
What ya do, rob a bank?
@Calum cheers Val. And tbh parts I have spent less than £200, powdercoating Inc sandblasting and special paint colour £180

@NINJA I'm not sure , I just asked for a semi gloss silver powdercoat

@NINJA oh it's all powder

New chain guard courtesy of AliExpress£11 not bad
Looks so much nicer in person... Really has that 90s yz feel
Contrast
Whacky colour mix

@Calum probably like Marmite some for people, but I'm daring, it will all make sense when finished.
Thanks, where to? Be good to pull in some newbies

@Minia thanks

@Louis-James Interesting and unusual colour choice, looks cool and no doubt when completed all the colours will tie together. Is this going to be a show bike or an occasional rider???
@NINJA hi, yes it will be a show bike of sorts but
on sunny days will get a nice ride
Problems with a 25year old bike is not all parts are available anymore,
Thinking of getting an enduro / laner that can be plastered on mud and dropped and banged hha -

You are right get a second bike to be used and abused and leave the restored classics as eye candy!!! :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: :winking_face: :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Had a little play this evening.
Whacked on a few bits.
Ordered up a little bracket that was missing what's needed to mount the rad scoops, could have made something but it was £7 new

@declan it's the most satif part of a restoration... especially a new colour.. bite the bullet and strip it down

Starting to look like a motorbike again. Just perfecting any little bits along the way.

@Louis-James Such a beautiful job.
We really do have some talented members on here!
I'm in love with this build. The attention to detail is just immense.
@Calum thank you Callum. Very much appreciated. You're one to talk with attention to detail
