bought this a few weeks back after kaner put me intouch with his mate near barr beacon (thanks ben :daumenhoch:)
anyway she was a bit rough round the edges as can been seen in the pics but all solid and complete with mini burner seat :crazy2:
stripped it down as i wanted it a different colour from black.so out came the sand paper and rattle cans and got stuck in.
anyway here it is.not the best pics off the iphone so will get some better when the sun comes out as the yella proper blinds ya 8).
before as i got it.

Cracking bike by the way Dave, :daumenhoch: looks mint
-
Doh...
-
Looks awesome. :daumenhoch:
-
That is an awesome job you have done there dave :daumenhoch:
-
Superb Dave, that looks sweet as :4_17_5:
Sprockets a whippit not an ss ;)
-
Bike looks mint compared to when you got it. 8)
The GT stem would look nice with the GT emblem exposed to fit in with the yellow/siver/black theme. I normally use a bit of electricians tape to mask the stem then hit the raised GT section with some wet and dry. :daumenhoch:
-
gonna sound odd but i really liked it before resto :-X
-
i was gonna leave it as it was and ride it as i like survivor old school bikes.
but i got a new gen dirt bike that i built as a rider/cruise bike.
if it had been in a bit better shape i'd have left it as was.but seeing as its sat in the front room her in doors would have gone on about it :-[.
gonna have a go at the gt stem now like you said :daumenhoch:
-
hahaha i know what you mean ive got the kitchen a sitting room full of bikes but no moaning yet as there ones for sale :LolLolLolLol: and she thinks its shoe shopping time when i sell a bike, shame i aint told her there is a warpig frame on its way :LolLolLolLol:
-
lol i got one coming to.
she dont know that yet though >:D
-
Bang on that is Dave, really nice :4_17_5:

Yep. thats better. Im putting my inch holmes back together next week dave then we need to ride the buggers!
-
to right. although your will get ridden a hell of alot better than mine will :coolsmiley:
give us a shout when you done it and i'll pop up :daumenhoch:
-
With all due respect given dordy the refinished version looks awesome but i died a little to see that original blackness lost. :'(
-
thats lovely fella great job on the refurb, what colour yellow did you use from a can, was it ford signal yellow?
-
don if it had been a bit better i would have left it a survivor finish mate.
it was rough though when you got into it.
i got a black challenger and a black dirtbike so just fancied something a bit brighter.
it was them little cans of enamel paint jaymz from B&Q.
leaves a nice finish without messing with laquer.
can remember the colour name though.the ford colour is about the same though :daumenhoch:
-
really little cans of enamel, nice tip fella, how many cans to get a good coating?
-
i got 4 but only used just over the 3.
covers nice too.
lot better than car spray i think it is.not so thin.
