Finally the Bol D'or is back

[dogsnbikes]

Its Taken longer than expected but I think the wait has been worth it:innocent:

As for the money spent well lets just say I have had fun spending it and I am now looking at the next bike inline for an upgrade

But the work done has been

Speedo has had triprod replace and tripmeter repaired...
speed sensor light now come's on at 110kph rather than at 80 as it use too...
New seals in the hydrollic clutch and rocker cover, and broken stud replace
12v cigi lighter plug installed behind sidecover and large clock on the dash(so I can feel like captain concours aka meanie)
New rack made up for top box and pannier cages fitted(yes the panniers are ex M.O.T of a XJ750) and I can remove the panniers and top box as one unit by undoing 4 bolts:yes:
everything painted except the tank and new decals on all the plastics
everything that needed rechroming was
And lastly a second seat sorced and recovered and increasing the seat height by 25mm(seat in photo's is orignal seat not the new seat)

[oldrider]

Having ridden a few k's on one of those I feel qualified to say excellent restoration, congratulations on a great job, well done! :yes:

[T.W.R]

Pretty sharp resto :yes: the mirrors should be black though.
Be meticulous with service intervals though & keep good oil in it :yes: I had one identical (87 F2F Bol'dor) and the primary chain right in the guts of the motor let go :sick: one total rebuild later it was a magic bike...one very competent all rounder

[dogsnbikes]

Thanks folks

My old girl let go one morning when I was starting her up :yes: one very small tick from inside the motor and absolutely nothing :shutup: zero damage apart from the chain but it meant a total strip to get at it :slap:
They purr when everything is doing what it's supposed too :yes:
