Thanks guys...yes, Tom when I first saw the bike I knew that I would have some trouble deciding about weather to repaint or not since it was in such good condition. I even contemplated getting other fenders and tank for it so I could leave the stock ones untouched.  In the end, I decided to stick to my plan and do to it what I envision in my head..

Second coat of primer is drying as I type this...

Cheers,
Tush

Yeah Welcome to The Forum. That was a beautiful bone stock bike, and I think it would have remained so had I purchased it, but will look forward to pics or videos when you got it the way you want it. Meanwhile get your motorcycle endorsement so you can ride her when she's done!

Nice Drifter!
That's exactly like mine was, when I bought her back in '99.
I've been mumblin' about 2-tone paint for her, but I'm still undecided...  :-\
Can't wait to see yours.

Great looking bike,   what are your plans for her???

Thank You!  Just in the process of getting ready to paint it...I like the two tone look so I'm going to go black and Wimbledon white.  Whitewall tires to go with that and a new solo seat.   A few other small mods like a light bar, crash bar will go on later I think. Nothing over the top.

Cheers,
Tush

 Hi guys...

New owner as of a couple days ago...first foray into bikes (don't even have my licence yet 8))  I usually do car restoration videos ( I have 6 Triumph TR's and 1 Alfa Spider) but I've decided to document my Drifter project on my channel.

Here's the first introductory video if anyone's interested.

Just getting ready to upload the next instalment, Disassembly, Part 1

Cheers
Tush
