So winter is around the corner ...so I decided after 5 years to take the leap and decided that I have accumulated all the skillset and confidence  that I need to rebuild my bike..( I've taken alot of infos from tou guy's over the years) ..   I work in a Bank and have a degre in law......   no formal education in bike mecanics..... and before owning my bike  never actually change a spark plug on my car.

...  so lets begin ...some pics please

In the begining
Not that bad but the paint on the frame is miserable !

The cutting has begin ..... I've cut the to passeger bars at the back of the frame and fot rid of uneded stuff on the frame
.....  the frame looks better this way ...  



And after a little bit of grinding ... (seriouslly I dont like that tool ...my husban gave me a few tips and tricks but he insisted that I do it myself......gald he did... ,





I also started to clean up the motor ...  


Stay tune for more

 

That looks like a great winter project!
