Heres what i've taken on...... The challenge is to get it as mint as possible for as little as possible! Bring it on.......

A bit of work involved here! Note the extreme yellowness.....

Work has started, but this'll be it for the next few weeks.....

There's a to-do list longer than my arm.....

It's not my first rebuild, but it's certainly the most comprehensive! Think i'll work through from front to back. Simonez 5-wheel silver works a treat on fork lowers and looks almost standard, new seals - I don't think theres any oil in the forks, my mate reported a funny clunking on the way home...

Then it's onto spraying the fairing frame, attacking the chrome with solvol, spraying the bottom yoke..... and on and on and on!

I reckon I may treat it to new forks when the right pair come up on fleabay.

Once my exam marking is out the way it's six weeks of nowt but garage time! Well, at least thats what I hope. The missus probably has other plans owing to our forthcoming nuptials...

I'll certainly post before and after pics on here!

Bunch of degenerates.....glad I joined the forum!

It's an F.Fabbri screen and in surprisingly good nick, the rest of the bike considered! It's going to be my only concession to bling on the thing!

I do have a red double bubble screen for flogging though.... should probably stick it on the for sale/wants thread.....
