Bongo's Z650 rebuild

Ay up Guys and Gals,
With the help of my mate Rik, I restored a Z650B3 from January to July 2010.
After posting a couple of pix the other day, I was asked if I had any pix during the rebuild.
Hundreds is the answer!
I made myself a record of each step as we went along, so I thought I'd share them with you.
So sit back in your comfy chair, get yer pipe out, stick some shag in it, light it and puff away as the story unfolds...

Great build Bongo and very well documented , very nicely done .
Just watch out for those swans when you park your bike up though , they'll break your arm those things :lol:
