Well I thought you all might like to see some pics of my progress so far. The bike was an ebay buy and alot rougher than I first thought once stripped down. The bike has been completely rebuilt and painted, apart from the motor which was ok. The first pics are as I bought it in its horrible burgundy guise. The tank and panels have been done in basecoat and orange metal flake(blast from the past !!!). I don`t like the stripes I have put on the tank so have some originals coming and will redo the entire tank again when the weather picks up a bit. Hope you enjoy and will post some better ones in the daylight. Up till now I have spent about 2 1/2 months on the resto.

Cheers,
MartinH

Anyone know an easy way to get the main stand spring on!!! >:( >:(

This is how i have done it before on my 750, start with stand, spring etc off the bike, attach the c shaped plate to the lug on the frame & attach the spring to it, then attach the the other end of the spring to the centre stand, now you should be able to hold on to the stand and pull on it to line the holes up with the frame for the stand spindle and push it into place  ;) job done just tighten everything up  :) cheers Mick
