Almost done parked next to littel brother..



Finished









The end result was not what i planned, looks damn good i think, nearly everything is NOS and its super clean.. But now I needed to start another dirt bike project that I could actually use.. an Ossa 250.. Will post that soon.

That bike does indeed look the business - grand job

yes, lovely job, lovely bike, very nice, isnt it hard trying to keep a 40 year old bike as a daily rider

I like that. Very nice.
I'm on the look out for its 350cc Bighorn brother to do up but none about at the moment

super job well done

Superb end result.

WELL DONE.

Thanks Guys, this was the first Restoration I ever did, everything else before was a special of some sort, so I got a little carried away but worth it I think..! I shipped the Bike to the UK when we moved to France.. Couldn't part with it..

After this I bought an Ossa 250 to use as a dirt bike.. But ended up the same way, too good to take offroad! Haha I'll post it sometime.

Looking for another F8 frame now so I can build an F81M replica, have loads of extra bits left over..

Getting carried away is only a reflection of your workmanship and the quality that you demand.

The more carried away you get the better the end result.

Great restoration, well done.
