AR ADDITION

Post by helisupp » 28 Sep 2012, 17:33

1st days assembly completed, wiring loom in place.

Another few days (few slow hours a day) and all going well should be running and ready for graphics.

Just been told forks stanchions have to be rechromed due to a few pits by suspension service centre, another £200 gone.......

You can never have enough refurbished nuts bolts and brackets etc on a rebuild.

Its nice to just pick the correct one out of the pile.

Nice to have new chain and sprox, but always a tight fit with standard 14 tooth for case protector.

The one thing they are not is mint.

They are in very good condition with a few new parts, photos always make them look better than they are.

Hi Mark
Where do you get your plastics from?and also where do you get your forks done
The bikes you have restored look fantastic.
