The hardest thing to find was NOS original grips - took me bloody ages!
I do know a good place that can match the frame coating colour well though if you get stuck :daumenhoch:

Was the Ultra Burner available with Red parts. I know the norm is Gold. Sure I've seen a few with Red. :-\ :-[

Black and gold or Silvery whitish (great description) and blue

Nice first project though bud - plenty of parts out there all of which don't require a mortgage adviser to buy.
There was a time when folk would have raised a crucifix to a Burner on here but they seem to be enjoying a RAD renaissance at the moment. :daumenhoch:

Had a looksee on-line last, i think your right - Its defo a Night Burner. I'm pretty sure all the parts are there, but not sure what you mean by chain ring and spider? (i need a bit of schooling)
Great, an approval on choice :) seen loads of Burners on here, some are real beauts - cant wait to get stuck into mine :) :)

Man that's nice!
Having a good old hunt for parts has gotta be all part of the fun, right?
I may well be back for that paint recommendation firm - Think ive worked out the original frame colour of the Night Burner was Black Superchrome, but after doing a bit of googling / reading that finish seems to be quite hard to get hold of these days? i may be wrong of course, well there's a good chance i am ;)
Found this an all last night, good reference point? http://www.raleighburner.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php't=36266
