I would reccomend leaving it as original but if you plan to restore Photo and measure all the decals before you start and ask the club and or a local sign writer to reproduce them.

Group: G4 Member Posts: 13, Visits: 180	Thanks for the replies Will get some photos and upload later as well as the spec to compare with original bikes Does the club have any original pictures of event bikes? The decals on this bike are painted and not stuck on which is why we thought original event bike from 2006

From this evening I have a few days down time and can catch up and get some more pics in here for you. The pike suspension in good condition will set you back anyway from £150 to £500. If your going for a full restoration it will take some time and a fair few pennys.

Group: G4 Member Posts: 13, Visits: 180	Thank for the replies.... We appreciate that getting this back to original condition will cost as it's got Land Rover on it and for some strange reason everything associated with Land Rover costs money. We are just compiling a list of original parts and will try and source these whilst preparing the bike for a complete refurb. We are lucky as we undertake refurbishment projects for our business from shotblasting to powder coating and painting Look forward to seeing any pictures
