Apart from being a pain in the arse and in my way  Grin..... it`s a AJS Regal Raptor.
I bought it new, 7 years ago, when my youngest son reached 16. I didn`t want him joining the scooter craze that was going round at the time  Grin.
He soon out grew it and progressed to a 125cc and it`s been stood, growing mouldy and siezing up ever since.
I`ve now had the rear wheel off and sorted out the rear brake, the original number plate lamp was fitted in the top of the mudguard, I ripped that out and made a start on filling the hole today.
The flame stickers are now in the bin along with the broken rear indicators and the original rear lamp.
I`ll stick a nice aftermarket lamp on the back and am debating a side mounted number plate.
Then i`ll work my way forward!

with, but bend the sissy bar back to match the angle of the front forks. I`ve always followed this rule when putting chops together, get that right and everything flows then.  Grin Grin Grin Grin

Certainly a smaller guard as the rear wheel looks kinda lost under there.

Mudguard is only sat in place in the pics, it does bolt up at the front end

Finished filling in the number plate aperture, rubbed it all down and gave it a coat of primer....then it got dark.....
I`ve managed to find a set of apes to go on the front and hopefuly the indicators I ordered will be here tomorrow...still need to find a suitable rear lamp...time to surf ebay
