Aww this will be a sweet project to get stuck into.
Make sure you soak every nut and bolt in penetration fluid before commencing!
I look forward to seeing what you do with this.

Cheers mate i will do, most of them are stainless steel so there not to bad, im more worried about the swingarm bolt as it has a thing about getting sizred inside the steel spacer inside the engine casing, last time i had to wack it with a sledge hammer to get it out but it broke the threads, atho now i own a Die so should be able to re-thread it if needs be

Like a project when there all rusted up adds a nice challenge to it
