Cheers Gnarlyscoots. No luck yet
Thinking of getting a plain yellow vinyl bar pad and putting the Torker logo on myself be it stenciled or painted? Originals are as rare as hens teeth and if you see one I think I'll have to remortgage!

Ooohh, I missed your first few installments on this, glad to pick up on it now.
Looks ace mate, really nice job, and as said already, your own BITD bike, something extra special about the build for you.

Looks awesome mate , that seat cover is very nice
Even better you have found your old race kit to go with it , that will make a great display .
Does the salmon DC brake block have to be NOS ? Pretty sure i should have a decent used one in the stash you can have

Nice Torker bud & so cool that you kept it this long!
Wish i still had my old EK but cracked it on a submerged crane lake jumping BITD!
If you still need a Torker vinyl bar pad made up or a logo screened on that one just give us a shout bud!
Cheers,Mike

Cheers for all of your kind comments guys. Much appreciated. I never thought I'd see the day when I would get this one back to this condition. Norty40 - it doesn't need to be nos just tidy and clean with minimal wear. Let me know what you want for it. GRAB ON KID - cheers for the offer I was thinking about putting the logo on the pad but wasn't sure how or who. How much would you charge for something like that and would you need the artwork? I could create something as I'm a graphic designer. Thanks again
