Old friend in for a make over

Awaiting it's transformation

After 17 years loyal service and with virtually 50,000km on the clock the ever faithful Thundercat is getting a makeover! Hagon rear shock, stainless steel down pipes, new chain and sprocket kit, braided front brake lines and some other bits and bobs. I will be interesting to see what the old thing will be like to ride with functioning suspension!! I have got rather used to it wobbling ways!

A historic day indeed Tony!

She deserves a wee treat.

Hope it all goes well Tony.

Cheers
Rosco

Notice Ross that people do treat there bikes to new parts to freshen things up when after a fair few years of service, give them that little extra tlc.
Keep them clean and tidy looking too. Share a thought for there steed and have a garage do some work on it so there's no need to get your own spanner's dirty.
I remember your BOS1.

What's the longest time have folk on here, that they have kept a bike for?

A month short of 21 years.

Is it a new Hagon shocker you're getting fitted?

Good on ya tony, will be interested to hear how it alters the ride, is it on the original rubber brake hoses?

Blimey Steve. That's nearly half my age.
