As i was happy with the seat and tank I took it to be painted. Was a 3 week turn around which gave me time to clean carbs and think about the front brake. Originally i rebuilt the stock brake but decided i didn't like it, so got me thinking about alternatives. Well i ended up fitting a 98...

Looking great, keep up the good work!

Thanks both, there is some really great bikes on here. Trek97 the Hagons seems pretty good so far only done about 70 miles on them so far. Next on the list was a bit of engine work, paint, rings and gaskets etc. New wiring loom. Then some nice new bridgestone tyres, I wanted good tyres, not...

Next up, put frame and swing arm back together and mount forks, rear shocks and painted clamps. Also put tank back on to mock up the seat unit I made. Well first attempt at using fiber glass, it was tricky but soon got the hang of it. I made a timber and foam mould to fiber glass, must admit I...

Next up wheels, shocks and forks. I cleaned and painted wheel hubs. Wanted to use original rims so gave them a clean they came up ok and were certainly good enough to use. Ordered new spokes from Dave silver spares in the uk and began building the wheels while watching a few Youtube videos...

Next up was to get the bike running. Some new fuel, plugs and battery and a little messing about the bike fired up which i was pretty happy about considering I had no air box or filter. Anyway she ran and that was a good start.
