Love you no nonsense approach, not over thinking and fussing to this resto project. So many of us get discouraged by watching some of the other restorations from others where their goals seem to be show bike oriented.
Such wonderful bikes remember as a kid the police using them and also seeing the last mk111 interstates for sale in local dealers window enjoy it fella
Well...a few days ago I did do a quick tally on parts, paint and supplies... it's not much more than an educated guess, but I think that it came to somewhere in the neighbourhood of $4500.00 - $5000.00. I expected it to be quite a bit more, but I saved a lot of money on not having to purchase new rims and spokes and not having to have any machining done on the cylinders or crank.
not all the good work is as it appears. you only see what is wanted to be shown, and I ask: will it stand up to the test of time? you will never know until you get work done by him and shortly there after see what exactly was done. a new ring job should be seated after being properly broke in; not the case i've experienced. just my rant,
