had the lump shot blasted then vapor blasted. cut foamboard for the exhaust and inlet ports and bolted on for blasting. put grease inside so if anything got thru it would stick in it.

Isn't that a sweet little thing.  These were the sort of bikes I grew up riding as a teenager, so never thought of them as classics, but I guess they're getting rarer now. Very nice mate. I think I've got several sets of big chrome 70s/80s Jap indicators, with stalks, in the shed. No idea what they're from but you're welcome to some if they'll help. |

No idea what they're from but you're welcome to some if they'll help. think thats why i did it mm.. reminded me of my first :big bike: which is what we thought they were after moving on from the fs1e. that and the fact that it was given to me when i was bored.. |
