Another restoration ready for the road

<< < (6/8) > >>

Looks awesome Eric, have you any pics pre restoration, this looks like a picture of a new bike, hahaha.

Sam. ;)

H2Eric:
Glad to oblige Sam. Here is what I started with.
Paint somewhat faded, usual Jardine 4 into 2 pipes, but overall a fairly solid bike and I was well please with what I got. There was some rust, which is to be expected, but nothing too bad at all.  The initial plan was to get it registered and ride it while there was still a bit of summer left, but it didn't run too well, so I decided to crack on with the restoration and dismantle it. Just as well really given the missing oil pipes in the cylinder head!

That's looking really nice Eric. Must say though, you started with a way better example than mine was. Don't think I would want to do one as rough again.

Did you get the exhausts from Silvers or are they the originals? When I did mine a couple of years ago I had real trouble getting an exhaust set where the welded seams were acceptable. Just wondering what they are like now as they had loads returned.

Hello Roy
The exhausts came from CMSL, see post above. Since buying them I've heard a few stories about the earlier ones not being up to the mark with poor welded seams, but the ones I've got from the latest batch that have become available are perfect.

Cheers
Eric

royhall:
Thanks Eric I shall get some ordered. The silvers ones are the same as the Dutch ones. I had sets of the original ones from everywhere and they all had to go back. Cheers.
