Great skills and craftsmanship. Love it.

True,will prob keep it then.

Ok opinions please.... Damper re fitted or not? Are they any good?

Old head light was cream crackered. I couldn't source a new lens in Uk. So I went with Paul's idea of a gs 500 headlight. £12 delivered, bargain and I should think a bit brighter!

Hi yes I did the crank case internals as I beleive that the vapor blast process does not damage the surface like sand blasting would. We use the blaster at work for all sorts of delicate surfaces on parts of electric switch gear with no probs.

One fork done. I managed to damage the new fork seal on the other, doh!

Here they are after Dan blasted them and finished them in the chrome powder coat. He also did the side stand and bracket too. Iam very pleased with the result! It is more like a polished Ali effect

Just picked up some bits I had powder coated chrome. I have never seen this effect before so it was a bit of a gamble as to how well it would come out. Here are the steel rusty old chrome fork legs before....

Hi Paul, small world hey. Here's a few of those pics that got me wanting a T500 in the first place! It's all your fault lol Anyone thinking of building a T500, don't forger to check out Titan performance website too! Iam going to get a set of pipes from Paul and Tim when the time comes...

Thankyou. Yeh Iam on the coast near Deal. I need to think about trial fitting tank to measure and cut seat unit. So this will be one of the next jobs before paint prep

Like this.....? Continuing the theme along the seat unit

Another one I love. I wish to keep it recognisable as a t500. I think the tank pattern is important but am undecided on colours. Part of me wants to keep it the candy lavender as that was its true identity but I in a way prefer the Orange.... Opinions welcome!

Now the fun bit starts. Bolting shiney bits back on!

Dropped the wheels off at Central wheels, Birmingham last Friday to be rebuilt using stainless spokes, and alloy flanged rims with Avon roadrunner tyres. Looking forward to getting them back!

Seized old switch gear. Bit of time cleaning and greasing then a bit old wire wool to polish the top yoke

Oil dam mod.... Made it out of some Ali sheet

Looking clean once again!

Bit of time with the vapour blaster at work and the cases look much better!

Stripped the engine. Needs some work to get it back running. This is prob my biggest job here...

Before and after Powdercoating :)
