    A few hours work the forks have been rebuilt with new bushes, seals etc and the old battered headlight is now back on after repairing the dents and rechroming :) sorted the wiring and fitted new loom.

    Looking just like the weather forecast for tomorrow, fantastic !!!
    Knocking a few dents out of the battered old headlight shell, reminds me of Sam Lovegrove when he acquired a beaten up old Brough headlight shell, it was transformed into perfection,sadly only a small part of his work on the transformation was featured, preference being given to other, far less interesting material.
    Thanks for the updates Darkman, I've said it before, but I get a real buzz from watching your work unfold, it's superb and of the highest order.

    All looking very lovely , I noticed the metal cam feed pipe bends under the rear frame I am hoping this is is just particular to this model as on my 120 I have it over the top before dropping to the tank is that right ?
