Title: 1983 Skyway TA resto
Post by: Genix9 on September 03, 2011, 09:49 AM

Finally completed my TA build at last  8).

The frame/fork/bars were originally chromed, but if pretty poor shape. Unfortunately no-one this side of the waters is able to do decent chroming and polishing to get the parts back to the way they were (couple of unsuccessful attempts at this before I gave up). So went the paint route and did her up in white, with a few changes  ;)

And here's where Steve's cool padset went :)

Ha, yeah, I only noticed how tall the seat was when I looked at some of the pics I took :). I'm 6'2" - everything's always too short.
