GT380M Restoration
Posted: Mon Aug 12, 2019 11:34 pm
Hi All,
I have been lurking on here for a while and spoken to a few of the members but thought it was time for me to start a build thread.
I acquired my GT in 2015 from my late Uncle where it was shipped to me in Northern Ireland. In order to preserve the bike I am completing a full restore. I have built up some bits and pieces over the last few years but only got it into my own garage at the start of this year to begin the full strip down.
This is a pic of the GT (and a Lambretta that my Dad has since fully restored) before it left England. Then another pic of the bike before being stripped. At this point I have the tank etc painted so it's away for safe keeping. Once stripped I had the frame powder coated and have had majority of bits chrome plated. I then built a bench to work on the bike. So far, I have offered up the rear mud guard with the grab rail which seem to fit ok. Tonight, I went to fit the Hagon shocks but noticing a fit issue where the shroud is fowling the grab rail. Has anyone else had this issue or can see where I've went wrong?
Thanks,
Peter
