      @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 🙂

          @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

              @Louis-James Once restored it will be too good to be thrashed around and in reality using her in that way makes all this effort seem pointless really. 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:

                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

                            Can't stop taking pics, think I love doing this build more than the last one.
                            Need some more parts from fowlers, chain slide, chain guard, correct mud flap.
                            Exhaust front pipe needs a few small welds.
                            Front and rear brakes need tidying up

                            Side stand switch added,oil pump plumbed up, all wired up.

                              Some new bits came,
                              Cleaned up the forks and front wheel and indeed the new fork guards.

                              New swing arm chain guard, chain guide and mudflap installed.

                                    @Louis-James anyone know much about fitting a battery? I just want to do a lights and PV test.. I think you can connect it to the loom r/s of flywheel

                                      @Louis-James does it have the three white wires coming from the stator? You'd need them and a voltage regulator to convert the output from ac to dc.

                                        @DTR-NSR I'll have another look but it has a voltage regulator already

                                          So hopefully the main part of the project will be done this week.

                                          Got the oil tank all set up nicely.

                                          I had to extend one of the coolant hoses as was way too short.

                                          This fairing bracket I ordered was no longer available so made one myself.

                                          As you can see the fuel tank is in amazing condition for age.. didn't even powdercoat it..

                                          All the colours are colliding and making a nice 90s mess haha just as I wanted.

                                          The fairings are ready to collect from the body shop
