    Blacks have all sorts hidden up stairs but the guys at DK in Stoke are more switched on and know where everything is

    Well the strip down has started and the price list has gone up lol.
    There's oil on the forks seeping out the dust seals so looks like I will be re building these so I may as well get the bottoms powder coated, and the top yoke. Thinking wheels too but they need repairing.will powder coaters repair when they sand blast them???

    What's the expected time to fix it all up mate?? I would be very tempted to pick up another bike and keep the old one as a side project rather than be without a bike now the weathers getting good..

    Haha the amount of stick he gets regarding SV's he must know he's wrong by now.

    Anyways good look with the build mate, if I can a suggestion, if the budget allows for it replace all fixings for stainless! Go through every thread with a tap and use grease/loctite where applicable. It's the only time you'll ever get to do every fixing and it will make your life a million times easier in the long run mate

    Top tip for you.
    Get a spark plug brush and scrub the chain with it and degreaser.
    Should come up like new.
