Edit:
and 2 years later (2014)

You did an awesome job......well done!

Looks Great Al, but what happened to polishing the top fork cap & nut ....... Oh & lack of front stoppers
That must have taken a fair bit of time to throw together..... the engine looks aces in the pics

Polish the fork caps? Geez gimme a break - i have RSI from all the polishing!

The front stoppers are on now (3rd last pic you can see the braided lines) rebuilt calipers new seals and pads.

Mate that looks the duck's nutz.

Well done, kudos to you...

Mick

that looks shit hot mate. i likee alot

Now that is nice. I like!! The paint job is a blast. Well done.

mate that looks great! how much it did it set you back all up? also in the last pic, might be my dodgy eyes but the gold stripe on the rear cowl doesnt look centered, not matching up with the tail light or rear tyre. otherwise looks tops!!!!

top notch job mate you should be chuffed as all to have that in your shed . well done

This bike did a few laps today out at Marulan, and looked just as good circulating as it did sitting in the parc ferme ......it looks really good in the flesh...

Al - when are you going to let the cat out of the bag about that *other* bike you scored last year ?? There are some old-timers here who would sell their first-born for one of these !!!

Yeah the seat was "ajar" in the pic. You goddamned nit-pickers!

The old girl was running too rich on the weekend around the track. I need to re-adjust the carbs.

But overall i was pleased with the performance. The handling wasnt as bad as everyone had warned me about. And the brakes and braided lines worked really well.

The bike looks awesome in the flesh. You have done a great job restoring it

Who told you the handling was going to be bad? I reckon they are a great little bike in the corners. When I ran mine around in the slower sessions last time at Marulan it felt fantastic.

Anyway, I reckon the bike is shit and you should just give it away to someone for parts....I'll even come and take it away for you if you want
