The itsa-bitsa has started its rebuild. All starting to come together nice with a load of parts arrived from Per/TC today plus waiting for a load more stuff off evil-bay.
I know it will be a hated bike as its a complete muddle - but it has a home in Wales!
Wiring and front forks with headlamp assembly tomorrow. I've got one of those "rare" front mudguards as it has the later front forks on it. Problem is the mudguard though solid looks like it has been thrown around a bit - anyone know any metal working geniuses?

TC does with mudguard stuff but watch out nothing here is cheap on restoring,reparing, rechroming muddys, but a sought after part and worth doing properly

Re: "Itsa Bitsa" Pics
I have a genuine one but it has some slight repair marks on the front of it, If you send Reg J £50 which was the cost of the chroming I am sure you can have it!

Ted - if you could also send me the link, that'd be great.

I do love the Kenny Roberts paintwork - I had one when I was sixteen - I absolutely rode everywhere on it miles upon miles !
but I lost the pictures in a fire and I bloody cannot remember the registration other than it was a P reg .

Re: "Itsa Bitsa" Pics
Yup - completely agree Nat. I had a 350LC in Kenny Roberts and absolutely loved it. Should get some time tomorrow evening to get some more done I hope....
