Hi,
Thought I would share some pics of my bike following a bit of a makeover.
I stripped the bike down and had the bike respayed from a dull purple to a metallic blue also new tyres and a full brake rebuild.
This was the first time I have ever attempted anything like this and I am realy pleased with the way it turned out.
Must say a special thanks to Kevin and Kevin Jnr from KC Motorcycles in Tullamore for their help in refurbishing the calipers and the tyres, they are well recommended if you need someone to help in the Midlands area.
Hope we still have some of the summer left to enjoy it now !
Cheers, Matt1972laois.

Thanks for the comment, bike is 1996 and done 65,000 miles.
After all the work it feels like a new bike.
