Apparently some german bloke is marrying some english bird today?? How anyone can possibly give two shits about this is beyond me but I got a day off so I managed to clean some of the bike up. Parts below plus a couple of reprints to show you what it looked like at the start...

Am straying from the bobber idea to a cafe racer style bike - closer to my heart but we'll see how that develops.

Successfully cleaned and stripped the brakes. The brake pad pin had rusted tight so a fair amount of swearing and WD40 applied to get the thing off. Am going to repaint the brake body once we get closer to running.

carbs still with Steve so we'll need to wait for that to progress before jumping in any further.
