who would you trust locally to rebuild the engine ?
frame goes in next week for powder coating and a few other bits.
wheels will be done by myself, want to keep the polished rims. (seems no one wants to take this job on)
tank and panels in one colour, best price i have had is £700 OUCH!

anyone know if its possible to fit an electric speedo and rev counter to the ar ?

Uselessinformation alert.....

Seeing that pic reminded me of college when we had to learn about diffrent metals, did you all know that when you grind them they have diffrent spark patterns? Thats pics a very good example is all!
