Hi everyone,
I posted a video of the pictures I took when restoring my T500. Note restoration may be the wrong word as I have not done any re-chroming yet and the seat still needs to be re-done. I struggled with the paint. Took two weeks to decide on the color. Would have liked to have painted it the original color but just didn't care for it much. Anyway since we celebrated the TITAN II taking man into space last week I think the paint may be appropriate.

Pat.
A very inspiring video, and a beautiful bike as a result. You are to be commended and congratulated. Janice and I just picked up a T350 parts bike in similar condition to what you started with, and your journey makes me think a second bike in the fleet is a more appropriate direction to take. Dam you anyway!! Another project. Oh well, it is our lot in life. Cheers.
