Big up to BobA

[Whealie]

He has been with me all day helping strip my original Africa Twin, which is now ready for a trip to the frame straightener.

Then the engine comes out and the leaky gasket replaced, while Bob gets the frame powdercoated.

Been a great day, really successful, so thanks Bob.

It started with having to rebuild it a bit. The swing arm came off and a mix of grease on good bearings and new bearings on the shot bits went in, then wheels were added to make it moveable.

Then we removed everything - wiring, front and rear sub-frames, radiators, exhaust, pannier rails and crash bars, carbs, you name it.

Several cups of a tea and some homemade walnut sausage rolls seemed to keep him fueled up.

Getting all excited about this project again now.

She will be the new zebra - Buano front end and professional paint job though this time - and all the original RD04 plastics will return to the current zebra who will then be up for sale - I think

Unless I break her, which I an loathe to do.

Keep it for spares, your bike is too rare to get parts for, without excessive expense.

Sshhhhhhhhh about the sausage rolls, otherwise you'll end up with all-and-sundry appearing to help you, or even worse, a Bake-Off compettion with Kymmy.

I was happy to help, bikes and good company are always a good mix


Mr Whealie does make exceedingly good pies!!!
