No its in the Garage but I ripped the shock and linkage out to give it a good clean because John the Old boy I bought the Bike of in March this year used EP80 as a lube so it was a bit "Icky" but boy how clean when I got it all off and the sprockets look like new for an 8K bike.
I have it back together (mechanically at least) but am going to do some paintwork to bring it back to "As New" condition (Well I am going to fix the panels and prime and top coat the plastics, then take it into Merlin’s here in Durham for them to shoot a few clear coats on. The bikes not bad at all but It fell off the stand when six weeks old and most of it was repaired but I want to make it "Like New"
Just been removing and copper slipping the fasteners so they work like they should. Luckily for me the previous owner has an engineering background so everything came out just fine.
I got a quote from Image works for £80 for all the decals !
I didn’t think that was at all bad and given they do a lot for the After Market repair industry I figured they should be good.
Getting stuff from the States is decidedly more expensive these days !
I may well start a post on the refurbishment
I got a set of number board decals from Image Works and if I'm honest they are OK but nowhere near Aprilia quality.
I wasn't happy with my front number board decal so I ripped it off after a week and made my own up.
The rear one is OK again but it's not quite the right shape and had to be trimmed to fit.
Your bike should look pretty good after you've finished.
Start a thread up on the refurbishment project, would be a good reference point for people to obtain ideas etc....
