2 years and 2 months later we have a new rider:
Harv had to take it for a spin, you'll have to click on it.
Big thanks go to:
RB for flogging us the bag of shite in the first place
Very big thanks to John Edge for helping us with putting the frame to rights and all the other bits he helped/advised us with :smt023
Gary Horsman for his NOS parts from NZ/UK - top man
Repro Decals - can't fault their service
Glyn Fisher for the polishing
Bob Cooper - Stafford, for the chroming
Dave Higgs for his pipes
Wolfie who helped me with the lectrics
And any others that we have had parts/advice from - thank you.

That looks lovely Ali + Harv..I really like the colour as well..If it was mine i would blank off the reflectors on the headlamp ears and tail piece with small black grommets..or use orange indicators..That said a special is a special and its the interpretation of the builders idea and that looks brill. :smt023

Colour still not to my taste but I must admit it looks better than I expected.. almost Peacock H1 coloured...
Good to see that you finally got there.. and got your house back.

I have an empty space in my front room now, and it does seem very empty. I suppose I best put the table and chairs back... but I could put my KH250 B2 there tho
Gra (Wolfie) it's not grey it's green or blue dependent on the light.
