thanks, i think the zaskars have just aged well. Most of the parts are '93-'98 era but it does wear the modern parts nicely. I think some newer control parts make all the difference...shedobits":1c96rcu9 said:Just found this thread, what a great build. If it wasn't for the rim brakes it would pass for a modern bike. Best of all you ride it. Gotta like retromod. BTW what size are the tops?

hi david
they took nearly 3 months with the help and advice from some of the guys on here, i only intended to tidy them up but it turned into a full rebuild lol. They cost me £20 so as you could imagine they were in terrible condition and corroded all over,
you can find the restoration with pictures here -> viewtopic.php?f=1&t=324080

ps. Whats your total spend? And you wanna do mine for me?
they're quite straight forward to work on though are they?SEANSTEPHENS":3jqwmomx said:...i reckon i spent around £220 including the initial purchase price. Not sure i ever wanna work on a bomber again tho
yeah they're quite simple, mine especially because they got no rebound, lockout etc. but they became quite a challenge due to them being quite scruffy, i think I underestimated how much work they would takestuckinthenineties":1tctvahh said:they're quite straight forward to work on though are they?SEANSTEPHENS":1tctvahh said:...i reckon i spent around £220 including the initial purchase price.
