Hi , I think I`ve put this in the right place now

As you can see not the prettiest sight but will try to keep things as original as possible , pics show what I`ve done to date, only got the bike at Christmas (a present to myself) and things are moving along , Forks will be rechromed , powder coated frame, subframe and swing arm , repairing the plastics as would like to keep original , and sorting everything else out :pray:

Thought at this stage I would show the latest moves instead of putting them on Photobucket. Getting the swingarm ready for powder coating I had trouble with the pivot bearing wouldn't drift out so did this
