Hi Guys
Most of this week I've been stripping and cleaning the bike. I stripped all the backend out. Rear wheel, mudguards, air box, suspension & swinging arm. Cleaned everything off and re-assembuled. Did the same to the front end and gave the bike a service. I also replaced a few damaged decals and Waxoyled under the front & rear mudguards..
The bike is in very good original condition and I've decided to leave it this way, I would rather have this original well looked after look then a full restoration. I wish I could have done this with my Vespa but it was to far gone. The only thing I'm not sure whether to do is remove the engine casings and polish them along with the front forks. Theres a bit of me that would like to, but on the other hand I kinda like the used look. What are your opinions??
Got the MOT booked for Saturday morning this will be the first time I've ridden a Superdream for over 30 years
The bike also came with a rack, top box, a krauser pannier kit and Oxford bikini fairing. I'm going to keep the rack & top box and will sell on the krauser pannier kit & bikini fairing. I'll put them in the for sale section here if anyone is interested.
The last picture is with the rack fitted. I'm not going to keep it on I prefer the look of the bike without it. I'll just fit it when needed.
Thanks for looking
Ross
