As well as powder coating arm and rear wheel ive had a new tyre the existing one was a lower profile and I didnt think it suited the bike,have picked up some decent pegs off ebay with a pair of re-chromed shrouds and other bits all for £35!,am currently stripping old paint off the head and barrels and about to remove the front wheel to get it powder coated asap!.

Make sure you thoroughly clean out the head before reassembly. :wink:
If you need any parts or advice, you could pop in and see Ray or Steve Debben at Debben Performance in Ringwood. :wink:
