A few weeks ago one fine saturday morning 1 week before my insurance and tax were due i decided to start what i'd promise myself ever since i bought the bike 2 years ago...

this is what i started

i stripped it down engine out and everything some of my friends doubted that i'd get it back together again but it is now underway.

got the frame back friday.

spent about 6 or 7 hours on it saturday, got the engine in, steering head sorted, forks, front wheel, swingarm and rear wheel.

also, if the carbs arnt back on already, wedge some kitchen towel down the inlets.

yeah i thought about it...

top yoke is gonna be painted to match the silver wheels, the lower yoke isn't really seen once the fairing goes on.

Top job sir Thumbs Up. Looks good

Honestly though that is the slackest chain I have ever seen in my life. Have you replaced the c+s?
