Love it John.... only thing I would say is you've got some proper nice parts on that, but the stem lets it down a bit... looks a bit beat compared to the rest of the build buddy

Very nice John, absolute minter!  :smitten:

Love the bars mate, must've taken a while to source some of the parts on that!  :daumenhoch:

It's a good month for Gooses eh? (and Torkers, and a whole load of other bikes looking at BOTM!) ;)

Cheers lads  :)

As for the stem, I've never been bothered about a few battle scars on the odd survivor part on my builds, most if not all of my builds have some survivor element to them - doesn't really bother me. Especially with so much re-pop stuff around, I think a few small battle scars here and there give a bit of authenticity  :)

Much rather have a few nicks and just give it a light hand polish like I have done rather than polish it to a mirror finish that it never came in and possibly lose definition in the stamp.

But hey - that's just me  :angel:

I did toy with the idea of replacing the hardware on it but decided to just keep it all original survivor in the end  ;)
