    Well I am speechless. Like the peeps said they didn't even leave the factory that good. You are the Man.
    Regards

    WOW
    what a lovely job you have done on that bike.
    I must get my finger out and finish my T100T I rebuilt it 10 yrs ago and fired it up then put it in my kitchen as an ornament (it was my 18th Birthday present as a box of bits and my dad helped me rebuild it) it has sentimental value and is going to be like a grandfather clock and passed down the male side of my family LOL

    Yep, seen it. Another superb resto. What’s it running now, original pipes or the reverse megas?
    I like the megas tbh, :cool: :cool:

    Over the years of doing up n selling bikes we have settled on the 4 old bikes we have today so it's been a long term thing and we will now keep these, the T120 is an old bike that started as a pile of bits and made into a comp bike over time and so i have decided to restore it to its original form with just the exhaust being different as i don't like the standard pipes on the 66 bike.
