That is looking superb

Did you manage to track down a bar pad at all

shearer27 · « **Reply #27 on:** January 13, 2016, 10:24 PM »

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!

I have asked a couple of people in the US, and posted a wanted on the Museum for you too, okay

I did see one a little while back, but forgot you were looking for one $:-\$

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.

Gonna be a corker of a torker matey !

shearer27 · « **Reply #40 on:** February 15, 2016, 09:40 PM »

Finally finished (apart from sourcing one salmon dia-compe brake block).
I'll take some better pictures soon but here she is in all her glory!

Proper that is

Lurverly!

NORTY40 · « **Reply #45 on:** February 16, 2016, 04:37 PM »

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

GRAB ON KID · « **Reply #46 on:** February 16, 2016, 05:08 PM »

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

shearer27 · « **Reply #47 on:** February 16, 2016, 06:46 PM »

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

NORTY40 · « **Reply #48 on:** February 16, 2016, 07:33 PM »

PM me your address mate and i'll get it posted out to you

rooski · « **Reply #49 on:** February 16, 2016, 08:06 PM »

That's soooooooo cool, I fookin love it!
