Those not on FBook, it's getting there, slowly! Older bars, grips, plate and plain blue or Thruster vinyl padset on the to do list....... ;)

Thanks Phil  :daumenhoch:

Ya caliper looks a treat but I may have to 'age' it bit to match. The lever unfortunately doesn't sit right on these make-do GT expert bars, hopefully get summat older soon. ;)

You'll be able to wipe that shite off them pads with a bit of thinners on a rag    ^"^

Other than that, it's evolving very nicely

Looks lovely that, as do all your builds ( seen at Cleethorpes last year).
Have you seen these pad sets

Thanks bud, really want vinyl & poppers but may end up going for them. ;)

Thought about doin' that Steve, nearly did it today but would I regret it? An '81 Raleigh but don't think there's many Supercross' this side of the pond & it's a true survivor (apart from the grips & plate).......  :-\

You don't half know how to build an authentic looking bike Andy - you're one of the best builders on here IMO. Love this mate  :4_17_5:
