Thanks for the response Deejay. I am in the process of stripping my 45 down taking a heap of photos along the way. i am putting the parts in different boxes and degreasing them throughly. I have been in contact with a sandblaster/spray-painter and they are going to do all the paint work. I have looked at a couple of other threads in relation to the paint colours. What do you think of Galmet Avacado green? I am also getting the handle bars re chromed through Queensland chrome plating. I have just ordered the original decal of Ebay as well.
Mechanically the engine should be ok. I remember it was replaced in the early 90's. Is there away of telling when this engine was manufactured? (engine number 19-0-144)
