And as Dordy has rightly stated, these are the bikes My friends and I rode as kids as we couldn't afford the top spec stuff. So there is a big hole in the resto scene of the lower end bikes, the bike we all rode bitd, in my opion more of these should be rescued.
I really like that as it is. Survivor
No mods then!! That's obviously the concensus of opinion and that is what it will be. The paint on the fotrks sem to be a mix of household paint and polyfiller!! There are chips through the paint especially around the rear of the frame and there is sections of the frame that have silver paint on it for some reason too. I might have to strip down and fully repaint but, I think I will strip the parts and see what I can asses it all first. That I will start tomorrow.

my first bike bitd had those yellow mags,it was called a WMX,all my mates used to call it womans moto cross
