The last month I had some time to work on the bike.

lix, you do beautiful work. Your patience comes through brilliantly with the quality of your labor. I can't wait to see the finished bike!

Hi Sarals,

Thank you very much :)! The process is going slow because it is my first real restoration.

This is how the bike looks at the moment. Engine is mounted and I'm checking the electronics.

Then I'll try to fix the seat. Lots of work to do because I wanted to try riding the bike at the end of july...

Kristof, thank you! If my restoration looks anywhere near as nice as yours a few months down the road I'll be satisfied!

Jensen came by this weekend to help me bring the motorcycle alive :)

Some fine tuning has to be done but I'm very happy with the result:

Hi,

Nice picture. We will tune the engine further after you put some miles on it, somewhere in September or so .It was nice meeting you in Belgium,
