Wow those fork stanchions came up well, good work, and is that a crankcase pressure release valve I spy where the oil filler cap should be or just an aftermarket cap. (:-}) I'm impressed with how well they came up - did them by hand too! That's just an aftermarket filler cap...have the original, bu...

So today I got to spend the whole day on the bike! Front and rear calipers taken off, plus lines removed. Rear wheel out, and everything de-greased and cleaned. I don't think the carbon hugger had ever been off! Fairings haven't been washed/polished in a VERY long time! Cleaned up the majority of th...

I don't know which number she is :( I have no documentation to back up the 'Anniversary' bit of her heritage, just the fact that she has the white nose and seat cowl. If she is, she doesn't have the plaque on the top yoke, or any other bits like the cans/rear suspension/steering damper etc. I think ...

I've just been making a list - in addition to CCT's + possible Reg/Rec!

I would like to think that with everything on my list, I can get this bike on the road for just about 1k - and £350 of that was to buy it!!

It had been left outside for 2+ years under a cover! Carbs will be having a full strip down/sonic clean and re-build - will check the jets too and change if required!

Added some photos into a new thread in the projects area

So, kinda started this last night. Only spent an hour or so as I was in late from work! Don't expect photos everyday either - I'm not setting any world records for time to strip/rebuild this!! http://i918.photobucket.com/albums/ad21/Ted-1977/IMG_3737_zps64b3442f.jpg http://i918.photobucket.com/album...

Thank you. I'll add some photos up tomorrow

Where would be the best place to start a thread for the dismantle/rebuild of the bike? I don't want to annoy the mods by putting it in the wrong area!!

It has a carbon (or carbon lookylikey) hugger, and the white nose/seat cowl. Tbh, I'm not too bothered if it really is a *true* anniversary one (HPI etc shows it as 100% with no issues in it's life)

Looking forward to actually getting her stripped down, cleaned and back on the road though!!

I believe I'm the 6th owner, cybercarl - bought it off my mate - who always had these exhausts on it...

What were the Anniversary cans like, and what other bits (apart from seat cowl) did it come with?

SHED, Magnum??!!!!

I'll have you know, that there is a garage of the finest order! Hahaha!!

Spent the last 2 weeks on and off painting it, installing new lighting and flooring while I was waiting the iminant arrival of the 'storm!!

You can see how happy I am in the last photo!
