[QUOTE="DAX-IT!!!, post: 191291, member: 14868"] I just read your story about your ST90 K2 restoration and then had a look through your photos of the rebuild. I think considering the way you approached and executed it, your restoration came out great !!! I love that metallic Topaz Orange and the graphics of the K2. I noticed on the pictures of your toolbox that the indicator mounting points were bent - did you have much trouble straightening them ? I am currently restoring a yellow 74 K1. I have encountered some of the same problems you had - especially the rear axle seized solid in the wheel/swingarm. My indicator mounts were bent and ripped out with pieces missing :-/. To be fair, my bike was near enough complete except for missing rear indicator but it was in a bit of a mess after being left in a yard for decades in rain and 5h1tty conditions; the engine oil was like treacle and smelled like paraffin and the petrol had gone like filthy honey !!!! I could go on listing all the things that were/are wrong and all the worn out things but, I'd be here for quite a while. :eek: Will post pics etc when its near enough done. Well done on your resto - great job !! :) [/QUOTE]
