1989 rebuild update

[oldman]

The other thing with the white frame is it is the original colour and wanted to keep it looking a bit period with a few upgrades. Does show oil and dirt bad though, found that with the 88 especially when lubing the chain. What colour is your frame going to be?

@oldman The bike I am building uses an aluminium frame that polish's up really nice. Despite that I had it painted candy red. But it's going to look superb.

Progress so far, still have forks to lacquer, loom needs going through so that's probably next, be a few days before I do anything else, commitments first. Found replacement frame steering lock, just ordered cover, rivet and conical washer(?) from Fowlers to complete.

I like the white frame, have considered it myself for another bike

[NINJA]

@declan No soul dude, DReam was/is a classic !!!

[oldman]

Forks completed with new fork oil, flushed out the RAD but that's pretty sound, few other bits put back together. Wheels gone for rebuild via my mate and hopefully get the loom sorted and fitted over the weekend.

[Calum]

Proper job that.

Looking good. What colour scheme was this one originally? White'n'red?

[oldman]

Originally a white model, have nearly all new panels to go on, will source correct age related graphics if possible, will mostly be original build bar a few user chosen changes.
