yes , but I wasn't expecting the front wheel to head skywards when I nailed it away from the lights ................ and the brakes are shit , maybe some new braided hoses might help.... everything else is new ( cept the disc but that got a hoozle up ) :)

Hamish,

The RD is looking spectacular, I remember when you bought it and the thing seized a short time later. Good to see it back in action.

Cheers,

Fraser.

Hi Frazer , was good to get it going , get the thing off my bench , boxes of everything related packed away. Paso is next .
After things have been pulled apart , moved house 5 times , the odd part raided for another bike , having since got other bikes ( that actually go) , crashed ya brains out ,spent nearly a decade of forgetting where all the bits do go............a thing becomes in danger of not ever makin' it back to one piece . And it needs Bugger All , painted , leaking waterpump sorted ( didn't leak before mothballing ) and a damn good clean , oh and an air cleaner element ...................and probly a set of tires :D :lol: :lol:

That RD looks really neat. Not my kind of bike, but a credit to you. I hope you get your Paso looking that good. :)
