Thought I would share my garage antics with you.
I acquired this bike about a year ago as a MOTd, running " not much to make it a show winner" yeah right....
To be honest I paid too much for it but the scarcity of the Mk2 meant by heart ruled my head and the deal was done.
The previous owner had made a decent start, refurbing the crank, giving her new barrels and having the frame recoated as well as a new paint job in....the wrong colour.
On the up side, engine and frame numbers match, 20117 making it a very early Mk2.
Nearly all the fixings were rusty, the dreaded socket head bolts or just wrong so I have spent much time just ensuring she is held together with the correct bits! NOS bits and pieces have been acquired as well as new parts and last Christmas I was fortunate enough to pick up a freshly refurbed paint set in the correct colour!
Lots still to do, I don't do it for financial gain, I do it because I love it and at the end, hopefully one of the rarest T500 variants will be my steed.
Here's how she looks at present, the first of the fresh paint has made an appearance too, lovely stuff.
