Today I made some more progress.  Unfortunately I didnt get any progress shots but I've now finished the rear shock and also re-plated the footpeg assemblies.

The rear shock seemed in good mechanical condition.  The hardest part was color matching the pink spring.  In the end I had a friend mix up the correct colour for me - matched by eye.  Came out spot on.

Footpegs and their springs were cleaned up, repaired and then zinc plated.

Here are some pics of the restored bits installed:




And for good measure, I temporarily held up the sidecover and bolted on the rear guard to see it more completed.  Happy so far!
