55 w restoration

I think I've put this in the wrong heading but I'm not going through the photobucket nightmare again so fuck it here's my tank so far. Might have put the stickers on a bit low down. Needs a wee touch up of the paint and then lacquer over the stickers (once I've removed my black finger marks)
I'll start a restoration thread once I get all the bits back from the slowest powdercoater in Scotland- 4 weeks and all he has done is sandblast everything.
While I've been looking at an empty bench I've made a list of all the parts that are missing if anyone's selling anything
Front mudguard
Headlight cowl
34l indicator brackets
I'vj calliper and disc guard
Handlebars
Rack and tool box
Bashplate
3aj oil pump
Oil cooler pipes

The 2KF rack is diffrent.
But I think it is possible to make it fit. If you got an anglegrinder and welder on hand.
I have one lying in my shed.... waiting for motivation... :dunno:
The Tank looks fantastico ! :congrats:
