Nice one Dal, how long did it take you start to finish and what was the purchase price and outlay since, bet it owes you a few quid, lovely job.

Hi Eddie,

It's taken about a year. But that's mainly because I kept changing my mind about what I was doing with the bike. It was going to be my trackbike and was for two outings one at a biblicly wet Snetterton and a loverly sunny Rockingham.

The bike it self cost £400.00

It was then totally stripped the day I got it back the frame, wheel etc were sent away for powder coating (the only work I had to farm out) the engine was completely rebuilt, evey bearing in the frame and wheels was replaced, a better exhaust sourced (thanks Jetski) every nut and biolt has been either replaced or refurbished. The brakes were totally rebuilt as was just about everything else.

It stands me in at way more than it's worth but that's not why I do it.

The bike will have a new MOT and then put up for sale in the Spring. :grin2

I have just added more pictures to this album so there are now 350 photos for you to peruse.

The albums are actually the wrong way round as in the finished pics are first and the earlier rebuild photos towards the end.

So if you have bugger all to do have a look :grin2
