Hi Guys,
More of an intro really, so here goes.
When I brought the SP2 home and took her clothes off, that’s what I was faced with a daunting task to get her back to her former glory where she rightly belongs. The bike was minging.
So over the winter really I have been gradually chipping away at the task in hand.
First job clean, clean and more cleaning using liberal amount of paraffin and every product under the sun.
Then I stripped everything that I could and either replaced or upgraded as I went along, including chain, sprockets, stainless steel fasteners including the chain adjusters, new exhaust gaskets, hell or goodridge all round new levers etc.
So here are a few before and after pics.

Well you get the picture,
After 4 months, although on and off, I finally got the plastics back and assembled the old girl today. I like the end result, it’s a little bit different and no doubt not to everyone’s taste, but like the saying goes one man’s meat is another man’s poison.
I won’t be riding it too much this week though as I am running this in: 0
