After some idiot dropped some weldspatter (originally thought this was a ball bearing) and welding wire into my engine, I was forced to remove the engine for a rebuild.

After staring at the stripped bike for some time and a good few beers later I decided on a complete restoration and stripped the entire bike down to the last nuts and bolts.

This is what the bike looked like when I bought it. It had some serious gravel rash but was running sweet.

I then wanted to get rid of the gravel rash and applied a Dakar sticker kit.

The following pictures shows the first of the newly coated parts ready for assembly.
