Project Popup

Okay, let's get some of the fairings off this bike and have a look at the extent of the problems.

You know, the frame's pretty good. A few sandbacks here and there and I reckon she'll be good for a touchup if I can get a paint that's close to the original spec.

The forks are rooted. They really are. The left one isn't too bad in the area that matters but the right one is just going to rip through the seals.

The light has a chip in it - that'll have to be replaced.

Take the whole front off it and start doing some sanding. Every bolt undid nicely which is a great start. I'll be replacing these bolts though as they're a bit rusty and I like all the bolts to look nice. Besides, they're pretty cheap from Supercheap for replacement hi-tensile ones.
