Newbie sympatehtic Resto of a DP Firebird ....
The VW Doc:
Thats really great stfc :)
Thanks! You have done a great job there!! :4_17_5:
I have a few questions (if I may)
Forks - are they the originals as far as you know? They look very similar to the damaged ones I have
Crank - Yours is one piece. Is the chain wheel 2 piece?
Headset - What did you use? period correct? or does this not matter too much. (i have the one from the bike, but a ball is missing, and the cages seem stretched)
Bars - Again, are these the original ones do you know? I have CW a-likes on there at the moment.
Thanks for the assistance
stfc:
Looking at it yours looks like a mk 2
the one I have posted is a mk1 Firebird ,the forks are Tange which are incorrect
Basically they were sold as a frame and fork set, so put some peroid parts on that YOU want on it.. I have a delta 2 so will post a picture of the correct forks for that model which are the same or similar ...

The VW Doc:
Yeah, mine is a Mk2 - The photo's are a really great help! Thanks
Thanks for the ones of the forks too! That will help me out sourcing some similar looking ones :)
The VW Doc:
Well, the weather was great today so I cracked out the polishing machine, wet & dry, coke, WD40 & tin foil and went over as many components of the bike as I could.
Have a gander at the photo's and let me know what you think so far :)
it isn't 100% - but it will be a rider!
