Did some more hacking and chopping last night, pretty much the only bit left was the ignition lock on the steerer tube.

Decal concept.
Decal concept i worked on a while back. I had way more colour combos...cant seem to find them...might need to scour some old HDDs.
Winning colour combo for me on this concept is black/silver on cream. Cream tank seat (maybe fender), with black frame.
From the top these are, front/rear fender tips (maybe...) tank, seat cowl.

It Begins.
The W has been mine for about 3 years. Over this time it has seen quite a few tweaks and bolt on tart ups but i have always wanted to pull it off the road for a full respray and mod.
Its finally off the road and in the process of a major strip and hack.
The plan:
* full strip down
* remove starter motor
* slim battery
* hide all that electrical guts
* chop off any lugs/mounts/metal that has no business being there
* side cover removal
* do...something with the exhaust
* new mount for speedo....was zip ties until about 4 weeks ago...
* relocate ignition...or install super secret hush hush switch
* all bearing refresh
* new clutch
* new disk and rear shoe
* respray and decals
* re run loom
* polish and clear coat engine covers...currently raw aluminium...fking hassle.
Stay tuned for more photos of the strip down, chop & grind.
