Re: Tenere 1VJ Rebuilding in the Netherlands
Hi i also just bought a bleu 1vj which needs restoring and live in holland. I found mine on "marktplaats" . I think we have to tackle the same problems. I also need a new steering lock, you can also find parts with kedo in germany, sometimes cheaper as ebay and very good service . Best regards, ian

Thanks Ian,
Already looked there for a part because if your Locking Tab looks like mine you need a new one .....

There are not that much picture "before" and "after" because if you start and see the first result you can't stop
But I've got one:

You will need to get the bolts re-plated now or they will rust in no time, i found this out the hard way.

Now you have a nice shiny frame it forces you to do the rest of the bike properly, only way to go.
That`s a spray paint job right?
