New guy, new project

It most certainly will not.

Brings back some memories. My first bike was a silver version, but it had steel mags rather than spokes. It could keep up with traffic on the motorway - just!

Didn't have it that long though as I moved up to the requisite two stroke.

Well, took it down to the frame, powder coated everything steel including the wheels, lots of elbow grease, rebuilt the carbs, rebuilt the brakes, converted her to 12v and took it for the first ride tonight.

Starts first kick, purrs like a kitten and pulls through all the gears, no hesitation or flat spots, unbelievable. Pretty happy considering it was rescued from sure death from a scrap metal dealer.

Now to start the re-registration process. I've talked to the guy at vtnz and it actually sounds rather painless.

Pics to come!

...Cool...

Paint has been left original to preserve a bit of history, still need to get seat recovered. WOF inspection Monday.

The wheels were powdercoated whole, didn't cost much but I'm interested to see how they hold up.

You didn't fuck about.
The exhaust wrap will for sure ad value....or cover up rusty headers.
Should be a dam good commuter/hack around bike that will last for years and cost fuck all to run and keep running.

Ha! The exhaust wrap is covering a patch job, you were close. I might get some new pipes in the future, but the shipping is killer from the UK.
