                Freaky set of circumstances happened to me the other day. I posted my 'restoration' on the VJMC (Vintage Japanese Motorcycle Club) Australian web forum.

                Within 24 hours I get a message from a guy in another city saying - "I owned that bike 10 years ago".

                I was shocked, to say the least!! What are the chances???

                Anyway, he sent me a pic from the early 90's just after he'd rebuilt it.



                Time has not been kind to it, that's for sure. 15+ years later and it needs a lot of work.

                    In other words ... you're just "Yanking" our chain.

                    OK, but that's only less than half the time.

                    What it is that messes you up the rest of the time?

                        zooks, that photo you received certainly sets a high standard for your restoration!
                        are you going with the same paint scheme?

                            Not sure yet. Thats why I started the 'baby' Kats thread, to try and find out information on original colour schemes.

                            It sure looks purty in that pic though.
