New tyre fitted, wheel back in, caliper rebuilt with new seals and pads, back half starting to look like a bike again. Hel braided lines will be fitted throughout, already run the clutch line in. Think after all this work the paintwork will be a bit of a let down, just cleaned all the crud off the hugger, and that's got a few scratches on it, rear tail piece has a few marks that could do with some touch up, the tank needs to be done underneath and its got some scratches at the front  luckily I have a baglux tank cover, so I will crack on to get it back together and running and worry about the paintwork later...

I think you both share the same fetish.... -  to save a abandoned / neglected 14.

Lovely work. How did you polish up the alloy?

Yep we both know the struggle.lol

Wet and dry, solvo and then a polishing wheel...a lot of time but it's worth it 

[T250]

Only a bit more today, rebuilt the front calipers, new seals, stainless bolts, new pads etc, got the seat back from the upholsterer, he did a good job wrapped all the foam in plastic just to make sure nothing can get through...proper job!    And on we go 
Bit blingy on the calipers I know, but I thought after all the abuse it might cheer the old tart up... it's been well overdue! ...

Ooops, sorry Seth forgot to attach a picture of your old seat cover

T250 - simply stunning. Love the blue callipers. Gonna get mine done gloss black this winter.

Please keep the photo's coming - I love to read stuff like this.

An interesting project, you've done a great job.
Not every 14 has to be mint or in great condition to be worth taking home.


My 14 came as a crashed and damaged project,
I dodged up a different speedo and straightened a few things just so I could test it.
Then I ....... never really did anything else..... 


Edit: My Aussie wife loves Cornwall. Last time we were over we rented a house at Portmellon just around the corner from Mevagissey. Beautiful spot and very different from Australia !
