Rebuild has started, i still think the headlamp mounts need another coat but I'll see what it's like back together. Pictures ![]() ![]() ![]() I think it's coming along well. Swingarm only thing really that needs painting, and i love the black forks

you didn't see it close up, the paint on the frame was shocking, and the tank has rust and corrosion on the top. more pics. That's all this thread is

Good to see you getting stuck in and having a go Dom.I agree the fork legs look good black,I did the fork legs on the Special satin black and they look cool
.Also did the engine casings gloss black and they came up a treat

you can just see in the last pic underneath the tank that ive done the other side of the engine casing black it does look nice. and the chainguard is and they go together well. Changed the mudguard to the lower holes so it's closer to the wheel, looks so much better than before. On the pic, the orange looks a bit pale, but it's actually real bright. |

Practically finished rebuild now, taken me about 10 hours i would say. All left to do now is put part of the engine casing and the chaiguard back on, sort out the back brake and put on the kickstart shaft and gear lever. not much then. pics will come tomorrow night when it's all built Dom |

Don't know if you have painted the Tank yet Dom but did you consider the black tank but changing the Kenny Roberts speedblocks to orange and white?. It would match the frame nicely and bring the orange into the colour theme of the bike . |
