I thought it was about time I stuck my head above the parapet in here h1d1ng2
I finally got most of the bits I wanted or needed to rebuild my bird & dug some of it out today to make a start
This morning it was a frame, engine, rad & pair of wheels with very little else on it, by dinner time I had ripped the front end out replaced the front wheel bearings, headstock bearings & started to clean some of the crap off
Issues so far.......
Rusty oil cooler pipes need a damn good check clean/paint etc to be serviceable
Front guard refuses to come undone & the captive nuts behind it have turned cracking the plastic (from a PO not me)
Rear suspension badly needs a strip & inspection
Shear bolts in the ignition going to be a git to get out, very rusty & tight but now soaking in plus gas so fingers crossed
Rad, forks subframe & various brackets need a repaint
Not bad so far for an old well used bike @tu*
