Except for a motor polish its all done. I did the paint my self with 2 pack. The clear takes a while to get right. I will take some decent shots one day.

The brake disks have been ground with new master cylinder brake lines. The Calipers i pulled apart and reconditioned them. They work as well as anything from the eighties in my opinion. The pipes are of unknown origin. They dont appear to have any markings on them to identify.
The frames powder coated, new front forks, lots of knew chrome, new rims, and stainles spokes. New seat, original seat trimming and mirror. New right side switch gear.

I will get some better pics soon.

Cheers
