I got my hands on a above mentioned bike, it is going to be restored to its full glory.

The bike is in not too bad shape (I got it started), but it does have its list of issues being 30 years old.

Whats wrong:
  • Very noisy engine
  • White smoke
  • Wont idle
  • Rust
  • Oil leaks
  • Slightly bend frame at tail end
  • Broken front mudguard
  • Broken headlight
  • Broken rear indicators
  • Some broken adapted rear breaklight
  • Ignition

What I will most likely need to get somewhere:
  • Workshop manual
  • Special tools (or will build them)
  • Front mudguard
  • Indicators rear
  • Rear breaklight
  • Exhaust guard
  • Engine bearings
  • Engine seals
  • Piston rings
  • Gasget set
  • Tyres
  • Ignition
  • Break pads

What I plan to restore:
  • Respray chassis
  • Respray plastics
  • New seat cover
  • Respray Tank, covers etc.
  • New Tyres
  • Restore rims
  • Engine overhaul
  • Shocks overhaul
