    Awesome job
    Ive always wanted one of these in that state. But my wife wont let me. Just because I want to put it in the house and display it. It would be allowed to be in the garage with the others but not the house.
    Oh well!

    Well done that man!
    May the road rise up to meet you.
    May the wind be always at your back.
    May the sun shine warm upon your face.

    Thank you, I'm glad its bloody finished as it consumed up a large chuck of my life trying to find all the NOS bits from around the world.

    Are you going to find a good mud puddle to ride it in?

    Yes, it was all dressed in E colours (yellow) when I first saw it but the frame and engine numbers told me it was a F (orange)

    Thanks for the positive comments NZJONESY!

    Thanks rainman, no mud puddle it will stay in the garage all nicely wrapped up. I have a mint 1981 TT500H that I ride on the road but no mud puddle for it either. I have a 1980 Suzuki DR400T that I ride in the mud.
