Some progress…

Finally had a good go at the front end. This is how it looks now:

The handlebar holder was in good shape, but required polishing. Too many cobwebs. I usually hate that, but seeing the results, I might just try to polish the motor covers.

How it looks after 20 minutes of work: Nifty.

Time to paint the clocks, they originally had a wrinkle finish, pretty easy (So I thought) to redo.
After paint:

One of them wrinkled differently… same day, same temp, same can

Clock Plate:

The washers and bolts come from a Kawasaki Samurai… no time or money to source NOS bits.

The indicator is also from a kawasaki, but this time a H1.

The headlight rubbers and square spacer come frome a suzuki T250

Here is how it looks, the ace bars are way too radical for me, need to buy a new set of low bars. I fitted bars from an RD 250, but they are too high for my taste. The bike might be a bit of a bitza, but still look “period”.

Time to battle with forks… and find a new headlamp and reconnect the electricity…
