Well the time has come to get the old 200 up and running. I Pulled it out of the shed today and got a few pics of how she stands now.

Hopefully over the next few weeks i'll start the strip down, to get her ready for summer.

Ill let the pictures do the talking...

So yeah, looking forward to getting the old girl running again. Its pretty solid tbh, the chromework is tidy, and did run well before it was put away so hopefully it wont be too big a job. Hopefully get it running soon to see what im dealing with.

You've got the basis for a nice machine there - looks pretty solid - chrome including stanchions looks sound - have you had the engine running at all ?

Like the Fizzy too!!

She's a dirty bitch and a bit rough round the edges, but she's mostly all there.
If you can get her to the standard of that fizzy you'll have yourself a damn tidy little bike Thumbs Up
Any thoughts on following the trend and turning it into a cafe racer? Laughing

It did run but hasn't run in a long time, maybe 6 years or so.

Lulz I doubt it, not a fan of cafe racers, like 'em standard

Bit busy with work atm but should have her running at the weekend with any luck.

I clothed it up earlier to show how she stands at the moment. Will start working on it tomorrow so will update this properly.

Got a bit done today, although not as much as I would have liked.

https://i979.photobucket.com/albums/ae271/RxsOllie/SNC00456.jpg

Removed the airbox

https://i979.photobucket.com/albums/ae271/RxsOllie/SNC00452.jpg

Bit of a mare tbh. The bike ticked over really fast when it last ran, this might explain why...

https://i979.photobucket.com/albums/ae271/RxsOllie/SNC00478.jpg

And took the carbs off

https://i979.photobucket.com/albums/ae271/RxsOllie/SNC00460.jpg

https://i979.photobucket.com/albums/ae271/RxsOllie/carb.jpg

https://i979.photobucket.com/albums/ae271/RxsOllie/SNC00475.jpg

They didnt look too bad inside tbh but I threw them in the ultrasonic cleaner anyway.

https://i979.photobucket.com/albums/ae271/RxsOllie/SNC00465.jpg

Made a worrying discovery when I took the battery off....
