MT Riders Club

Well today i went to pick up my mt500 from lowuk he is a geat guy and is very helpful (and has a beautiful collection of mt's )

I think my first job will be to free the engine rebuild the it then store it, after that i shall move on to the wheels, frame then other bits and pieces. I actually feel this is in better condition than the ar50 i recently rebuilt.

The biggest job is pass my bike test at 17

Pictures to come

Best of luck with the rebuild. Don`t forget you can download all the manuals you will ever need from the forum.

Luckily one of the many people i know has a manual that is printed

Well i did an hour rubbing back the oil tan part of the frame that now will only need one more rub down then its ready for priming Will try to do the swing arm and frame tomorrow

These are the colours im considering (no matt will be seen)

What do you think??

Need to find suitable primers and suppliers local. Also this will be an experiment as it is yacht paint which my dad says is easy to apply and easy to get a good finish (also it is very salt resistant)

green and black... all depends upon which angle I look at my laptop screen to see the shade

That was what i was thinking as when i got the mt home and started pulling it apart i thought this is in pretty good condition

Went to the local yacht chandlers and picked up the primer also collected a coulour chart and they do the colours i was after

Will upload images of the bike of how it stands at the minute

The forks look almost new under the gaiters

Its is all their but to many pictures to upload lol
