Got this just before christmas.'72 s1.Needs a full restoration but has the right bits.correct carbs and pipes etc.I have had to pay heaven and earth for it but may never find another that needs doing.It has almost mythical status in my world.

managed to get my alloy parts back from the vapour blaster.He has done a stunning job.Thankfully the bike has suffered next to no corrosion to the parts that normally have pitting such as the crankcases and frame.I think this might turn out a nice one

So..This week i have dropped the parts off to be re-zinced.I have dropped the chrome off at the platers and have had all the black cycle parts and body kit chemically stripped.This way i can do any repairs to the parts including the mangled headlamp ears before painting.

Tomorrow i am going to drop the body kit and decals off at the painters

Have a done a little more today.I have fitted the bottom yoke and the coils and clamps.The chrome being away will slow the job down from now on but i should be able to rebuild the engine and renovate the controls.I have posted this pic as i love how the gloss black contrasts with the passivate and clear zinc.....oh and check out the early s1 airbox!!! bwoooooar
