My KTM is getting there..

The bike looked like this... before the engine went pop (dropped a valve doing wheelies, something tells me I need to learn to change gear!! :laughingr )



Well with the engine out and everything all grubby and tatty from off road use and general broken-ness.. I decided to fix her up as a bit of a project... the bike went pop in February but I've only just been able to afford to start any work on it..! expensive stuff these bikes

Finally started work on the front end... new wheel bearings/seals and a good clean of the front, all lights removed, new number board but not fitted.. got to remove the dash before it'll fit properly... haven't started on the rear end yet so the rear isn't as clean as the front yet. That's being started on soon, although I need to buy a new subframe seat and airbox first to convert to 04/05 single fender/sidepanel type.

525 engine stuff turning up Monday so engine will be fixed shortly... will post more pics when the rest of stuff is done.. (bike is a 450 but dropped a valve a few months ago, haven't been able to fix due to £££ costs but finally getting there, and decided to go 525 as it's cheaper than 580 etc but still good power increase!! )
