Nice little project there 

[kungfunky]

Cool. Would love to see this built up pretty much as is but with a couple of parts changed 

[Shakey]

I am thinking it will stay similar set up as is now. Only problem is finding nice 1 3/8 comp 3.
Think I may put my spare 400's on it.
Any ideas how to remove the pad with out ripping the poppers from the material?

Finding nice comp III 1 3/8 will be tough....But I have a NOS set, I'm waiting to try them on a build and if it looks right I'll keep them on it but if not I'll be letting them go.

Lol!!!
Awesome help guys!!
Tried the scissors but not sharp enough so I've gut the top tube out with a metal cutting disc. Only a thin blade at .8 of a mm so should be able to weld her up a treat.
Just need some p38 and who will know when I plastic coat the frame red!!

That's ace, leave it as is!!! I'd just change the seat & grips, sorted!!!!

[fischflo]

Could be hazardous to use though on the old set of boots on it!

Black Shadow. Shipped to hot wheels 1st June 1983.
Great basics there. Got some tyres I could throw on it but need some nos ones if I restore it. Guys on museam are saying leave it as it is because it tells a story rather than another mint show bike.

Got decals on the patt now. And got some box cranks and an ESP stem. Where can I get a pad set?
