Welcome. She doesn't look too bad, a lot less tatty than when I first got mine. You'll certainly enjoy the tidying up and there's a wealth of knowledge here to help you!

Thanks guys.

Nothing crazy planned, in order so far:

1. Get her started and running again, so maybe giving the carbs a good clean. Thread started over in the Tech Help forum mso hopefully on the way to sorting this out.
2. Restriction - In Ireland so a necessary evil before I'm on the road. Hitting a bit of a catch 22 at the moment - need to get it restricted to get it insured and need to get insured to get it to the garage  Angry Might need to sort out a trailer maybe.
3. Fork Seals - getting a small ring of oil when the forks are pushed down on. Have picked up the seals and going to sort it out some weekend soon. Some good info on here for it.
4. Chain and sprockets - I've yet to check if there's any wear, but I figure probably better safe than sorry. Might clean them up 1st and see if it's really needed.
5. There's a few dings in the tank and the chips missing in places, so I've a panel beater buddy that's gonna strip it back and respray the whole bike, wheels included. Suggestions welcome  Smiley

Not planning any mods just yet, just tidying and sorting out the fundamentals. If there's anything I should be checking let me know. Completely new to bikes, so everything's pretty alien still.
