Assembly


The assembly begins by fitting the suspension back on as you want to get the bike on its feet as soon as possible.  No surprises here.

The Swingarm bushes were good enough to re-use.




But the fork got new bearings and new suspension linkages.

Front wheel back on.. I haven't got round to restoring that yet!



Here it is with the engine installed and newly rebuilt rims. The hubs were painted. I decided to install aluminum rims as the chrome ones will probably rust again.

New meters, handle covers, indicators and bar controls.

Wiring is new but the main loom is aftermarket and the quality is poor. I had to remake some connections.

Some reflective tape... are they original? They will stay for now.

New seat, rear lamp and its chrome mount, new signal-lamps.

Almost there.. lets see if it starts!




Well that's a relief!
