Nice job.

I am very fond of my 82'er. Its a suprisingly easy and forgiving bike to ride for an Opemn classer and handles and turns really well . What shock are you running? Here in SA a lot ended up with an Ohlins shock which I lead to believe was a replcacment for the Corto Cosse. These have one HELL of a heavy spring!

Cheers

Thanks guys,

Bruno it is the stock Corte Cosso shock but I just rebuilt the bike to sell not ride, the Ohlins were a factory replacement for the shocks that broke under warranty I believe. Factory Connection also makes a replacement shock and also a rebuild kit for the 82's

You should be very proud of the finished bike, it looks fantastic.

That came out very nice...good job!  I'm sure whoever buys it should be happy.  Do you have a thread covering this rebuild?
