http://imageshack.us/a/img689/2600/sp58.jpg Hi, This is my 92 project which was destined to be scrapped, but instead I was given it for free and decided to give it a new lease of life. At first I thought about giving it a racer look, but soon decided to do a complete nut & bolt restoration job, so here goes !!

http://imageshack.us/a/img845/8242/8dfy.jpg tail is from a GP Pitbike, but ive since ditched that in favour of putting it back to standard as all the parts were with it and in good shape. This bike has stood for 13 years !! so first job was to see if it would run.
after removing the floatbowls I was greeted by this !! http://imageshack.us/a/img39/1709/4gpk.JPG don't know why it wont show this picture :dunno_black: http://imageshack.us/a/img607/8702/j46b.jpg
http://imageshack.us/a/img839/1726/jbr6.jpg exhaust system is completely rotten & engine casings are badly corroded, oh and both fork seals were shot as well :cry:
http://imageshack.us/a/img7/5757/ihnv.jpg and so the teardown begins. I,d decided to powdercoat the frame satin black as I reckon this will look much better than the rusty silver it was.

http://imageshack.us/a/img585/1034/voes.jpg after a few weeks the rebuild began, all nuts/bolts & brackets were given the electroplating treatment as well.

I think that would look quite nice.
