Well, she's back. After weeks of wrangling, sleepless nights, abuse on here and lots and lots of support and help from some brilliant people, Tox is back in my possession. She looks a bit different to say the least, but I like it. The fairings are repaired but need repainted, but after a lot of thought I'm going to keep her naked. She's going to need a lot of work but I think she'll be a really unique-looking machine when she's finished, and I think a project like this will really improve my knowledge of bikes and how to take them apart and put them back together again
Current list of jobs needed runs like this:
- Sand off and treat the rust that was hidden by the fairing
- Sort out suspension properly
- Buy and fit new clocks
- Reconsider paint job (lots of scratches on the tank, but I like the colours)
More as I think of it, have added photos. Feel free to add advice, thoughts, abuse, or (not so) subtle suggestions that I'm a whore if that's your thing...
