« on: March 02, 2016, 08:54:54 AM »
Electrics all working now, fully rebuilt motor back in with new pistons, rings and bearings, rebuilt master cylinder and calipers, lots of polishing and cleaning, carbs fully rebuilt ...........

Home stretch now new chain, carbs back in, headlight in , tank to clean and then see if there is any sign of life  ;D ;D ;D

1971 K0 US Import

Was that a poke at my painting skills ;) ;) Actually Frame had virtually zero rust to start with so I used Hammerite rattle can and actually although clearly not a professional finish was very pleased with the outcome. :) :)

Looking good Paul. You need to watch your pictures as these guys love to look in the background to find things. Bl***y funny though. Nice work mate.....I thought that was a compliment but really there was a WorkMate in the background of my photo. ;D ;D
