GT380j restoration

[RobMc]

I`ve had my 380j for just over two years now and initially I`d made good progress with the restoration but then due to some family problems progress stalled for a year or so. I`d had the frame powder coated at Birkenhead powder coatings who did a pretty decent job,the fork stanchions are in dynasurf getting rechromed,I`ve had various nuts and bolts rezinced at alkemi in North Wales(great job,each piece individually wired).Mike sorted out the ignition,fuel cap and steering lock which now all use one key and did a fantastic job refurbishing them(thanks Mike!)Kev is sorting the paint(hawaii green) and refurbishing the sidepanel badges.The carbs are being restored by Baz and the seat has been recovered by P&A.I found a software app which allows me to cross reference part numbers by a company named zedder(I think it cost about $10-well worth it )
I`ve collected some nice bits and pieces over the last year or so and hope to get the bike to a rolling chassis by spring(fingers crossed!)

I`ve just had these parts back from Niphos in Crewe, a bit pricey but decent finish.
