First Restoration MK1 Night Burner
Skratchski:
werent they chrome with a plastic coating over them?? my mate had a night burner and im sure it started peeling.
dinglem:
Yup, black superchrome is correct. The company I found had a perfect match for it.
Are the grips that came with it in good condition?
Not too sure what year yours is (the one I did was a MkII anyway so different to yours), but here's a spec list from 1984 which might help. You can find others online if you have a hunt. Reproduction padsets and decals are all available.

I do like the MkI Burners I must admit. I am sure a fair few on here started out with Burners BITD.
I still have my original MkII SuperTUFF Burner, and my first resto was a MkI Ultra Burner. I'll try to dig out some pics :daumenhoch:

Awesome! Looks like i might be knocking on your door (so to speak) when it comes to panting time!
Not so sure on the grips yet, i should have my hands on the bike by Monday, expect an update and few pics :)
Ive seen some pics of a few lovely Ultra Burners! real nice looking rides them- Dig em out an get em up!
Also:
Should i be starting a new thread when the refurb starts to document the re-build, or just carry on on this one?
dinglem:
My original MkII SuperTUFF, given to me by Father Christmas in 1984. Only thing I have changed is the tyres :daumenhoch:

I was about to dive in singing Mark at Impressive Finish's praises, but reading the link it looks like he doesn't do the smoked superchrome finish any more :-\
I'd give him a bell in case as his work was great - he did both my Pro-Class Geese :4_17_5:

The Mini Pro-Class was done by crazy Neil Arcus (N2Cus) but he doesn't do BMX resto anymore :'(
(cue the stories about the silver van of death, the 4am club, dying Tuffs in his white plastic bath, polishing to within an inch of it's life and his tasty missus in the bikini shots in his house - I miss Neil :2funny: :shocked: :2funny: )
