1988 rebuild update
-
Finally found the last piece I needed, disc guard extension/caliper protector. Had to buy a job lot of bits to get it but selling parts I don't need, some surprisingly decent white early side panels came with it as well. Also found another 88 in crates, when I finish 89 bike it's got my name on it, that will definitely (probably!) Be the last one...........

Such a lovely bike now. Done a sterlin job. I'm sure @scrimsmustang would give it his seal of approval.

@oldman Great bike fella! Iโm still pulling my hair out with mine for now! Ha-ha!
Just wanted to inquire to where you got the beautiful shiny front brake hose clips on the front forks? I blacked mine as they were in pretty poor condition. -
Mint still like the silver grey seat better though mate. Its that the nos tank in the picture ?

ยฃ70 odd quid exc postage, which is expensive from csml, just over ยฃ100 inc vat. And they use UPS who in my experience would have trouble sealing an envelope let alone delivering anything. I think I must be on a blacklist with them, had more failed deliveries via UPS than all the others put together and they don't give a f*** when you phone customer services in the UK, rant over

@oldman For the price you paid, I would be rejecting that white panel. As far as I know, the panels should not be painted and should be a raw finish.
It could have been a seconds reject, either way I wouldn't be keeping it as it would look well off.
