Thats what happens syd when they hit the bottle ..You didnt win dans then

[sydduckett]

Nah, should have though. lost track at £195 and then it had gone for £200. May have been for the best though as there are about 4 different switch housings that you can choose from and knowing my luck...well you know.

Big thanks to Leigh by the way for sending me the 2 studs. Faster than a real scooter shop that boy...lol

Have had to do the respray in 3 goes, and have just finished the loop and leggies. Really pleased with the results so far although the inside of the leg sheilds is a bit wobbly...

anyway June deadline looms..

Outdoor free-style spraying. you gotta admire his style....

[sydduckett]

At the business end of the build now and i cant wait to be honest. a little more spraying (dropped the leggies after the final laquer went on.... ), pick up the links and linkage from the chromer and shes good to go..... that is baring the inevitable disaters!

Ill leave my my thoughts to what the rebuild has been like for total novice until the end of the thread, please god thats on the 14th or i think ill be in the funny farm...

Finally finished the scooter apart from a few snags like badging, shortned rear runners, rear R1 shock and some new dampers, got an old pair of escorts on at the mo. every thing has been done in my garage apart from the engine rebuild which was carried out by a mate, nice one John Was going to go for white but changed my mind last minute and after a few light ales decided on "Aston Martin Old english pewter. Reminds me of the old tonic suits in the green and gold.....ah memories.

Anyway here she is

Ps thanks to everyone for the advice when doing the build, even the doom-seekers...lol

superb thread, great job... well done!!

[ArmandTanzarian]

For someone who's first post was, "how do I get the head cowling off", that's a bl00dy marvel.

Well done. I bet it only cost five times what you first thought it would too!

[sydduckett]

Cheers lads, yes head cowelling that was in my ignorant youth.still dont know anywhere near what most posters on here know but it has been fun doing it. Has cost way more than i thought but saying taht i knew i was being tight when i gave the mrs a figure. I reckon all in it has cost about £3750 and i could essily spend another £1500. Iv had a few barneis with she who must be obeyed so thats it cash wise for a while.

All i need now is for someone to tell me how you get an RB to pull in 4th and ill be a happy man....
