Depends what it is.Get some 'before' pics up
Is that a Night Burner?
If its a stock frame and fork set with parts. I would keep it original as you can. I think when a frame and fork set was available without parts, you can go any combo choice is yours.
Here's one I restored for a mate of mine about 18months ago. [ Attachment: You are not allowed to view attachments ] The hardest thing to find was NOS original grips - took me bloody ages!I do know a good place that can match the frame coating colour well though if you get stuck
+1 Was the Ultra Burner available with Red parts. I know the norm is Gold. Sure I've seen a few with Red. Quote from: Jaan on April 03, 2014, 04:50 PMIs that a Night Burner?
Night Burner would be my guess although it appears to have yellow decals on the down tube. It looks to be all there, although I can't make out if its a chain ring and spider - should be. Nice first project though bud - plenty of parts out there all of which don't require a mortgage adviser to buy. There was a time when folk would have raised a crucifix to a Burner on here but they seem to be enjoying a RAD renaissance at the moment.

Yup, black superchrome is correct. The company I found had a perfect match for it.Are the grips that came with it in good condition?I still have my original MkII SuperTUFF Burner, and my first resto was a MkI Ultra Burner. I'll try to dig out some pics
I was about to dive in singing Mark at Impressive Finish's praises, but reading the link it looks like he doesn't do the smoked superchrome finish any more I'd give him a bell in case as his work was great - he did both my Pro-Class Geese http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,104773.0.htmlThe Mini Pro-Class was done by crazy Neil Arcus (N2Cus) but he doesn't do BMX resto anymore (cue the stories about the silver van of death, the 4am club, dying Tuffs in his white plastic bath, polishing to within an inch of it's life and his tasty missus in the bikini shots in his house - I miss Neil )
I'm pretty sure all the parts are there, but not sure what you mean by chain ring and spider? (i need a bit of schooling)
