From what was going to be a overhaul and cleaning of the carbs , it soon turned into a strip down of the bike Not going to go stupid with the resto , just a general clean up of parts a quick spray of rattle can paint , degrease and polish engine etc etc Tank has gone off for a repaint with the side panels and seat cowl , carbs are being sent down to somerset for a overhaul and clean and hopefully i can find some better gold comstars     how to delete ups account |

But it looks as though you have been sensible and boxed and separated things , I thrown everything into a box together .But as ive found restoring bikes and cars in the past most bolts only fit in one place

The front one is quite stained and marked , it needs a repaint really and if im doing the front then the rear will need doing to match it Can you tell me if the rear brake shoe housing should be the same colour as the wheel and drum as at tthe moment mine is silver |
