WOW! You are right Mike. Funny how a bike like this makes us just as excited as a pristine show bike. I guess we all like to rescue a 'Damsell in distress'. Lou

While the frame is painted, I work on wiring As all is burned all is KO And as I think the electricity is the reason of the fire I will take care of this part! ;D The base is a Pantah wiring Ignition wiring is not modified I add a Velleman kit for the charging indication I take some time to test the old elements, the starter relay seem to be OK... I was wondering it was the reason of the fire... still mistery... At last I kept starter and alternator because I want to be able to race hill climb (not only off road use)

Fork is from a Suzuki it was pretty common on TT in UK... less in France... Painting Tubes are KO I found a Suzuki 1100 EF '83 with similar for but tubes are 50mm longest Tubes for 1100 EF, diameter = 37mm and longer = 645mm, are available but impossible to find 595mm Waiting to find the tube I fitted a 35mm Marzocchi Last option is to buy a Magnesium Marzocchi but I really want to restore my TT as it was in the 80's... I don't want to do an another replica...

I love the look of your underground cavern! Do you need to paddle up an underground river from a secret entrance under a trapdoor in the study of your amazing villa to get there? If so it must be quite hard moving the bikes around
