@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 hhawrote on 23 Nov 2018, 09:32 last edited by@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:

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

We really do have some talented members on here!

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.

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
