I spent ages looking for a standard bike and since then done nothing but change parts... Admittedly some were due to a little mishap in France but even before that I'd bought Ohlins shock, Upgraded rectifier, Busa forks and radial calipers, GSX clocks, HID lights and that's just Ebay. Then there is that bleedin' Van guy selling stuff for the TL's.... he's worse then Ebay peddling his wares with pretty pictures ...... worse then visiting a crack house when you go to the 'Group Buy' forum :laugh
Motorcycle restoration. Make a plan. Stick to it.

There is no such thing as "restoring to standard" :banghead
This one was supposed to be and may seem standard, but a keen TL connoisseur will tell it is far from it:
One would say the project failed with major scope creeps and budget overblown. :lol
To the OP: Staying focused isn't easy when you don't have a project planner (aka slave driver) right next to you and making you read and stick to the whiteboard everyday. :lol
