These have just arrived! :) Any good?
Russ J:
Those grips are spot on for you Night Burner resto :daumenhoch: getting them in that good of a quality is pretty hard these days...
I restored a MK2 Night Burner a few years back know (its long since been sold know) and I had the whole frame,forks and bars rechromed before the superchrome was laid down...The super chrome was done by Mark Roles (Impressiv finishes) but last i heard he doesn't do the Nightburners anymore because basically his supplier cannot get the correct stuff anymore (saying that that was a few years back he maybe able to get it know I don't no ?)
My Night Burner MK2....
All parts were restored by either rechrome,re-annodise and repaint the only NOS part on this bike were the pedals ;)
deeman:
Whats up with the decals on that? they look original from here but they are not Night Burner decals! :-\
(not bike above! referring to OPs burner)
