    Lada 'Bosfor' Blue is the correct colour....

    Any good paint shop and even Halfords can mix you a spray can.

    Or - we have some in stock!

    They are a ok. I had to get a valve, new tubes and will order the longer shafts, but got the aluminum spacers shaved down.

    I had to get one reservoir and it looks great, so looks like I will get one more to match.

    I was not able to do anything in the shop this winter due to extreme low temps/ snow. I am several months behind. Now looks like temps are still not cooperating.

    Did u get your rebuilt?

    Darrin, my shop was too cold and I moved my engines and forks into the furnace room to setup a warmish work area. I have them holding up the rear of the 84 250WR. It balances out nicely with the XC forks it has on it

    That is funny, even in Oregon there were enough cold stretches that I couldnt keep the garage warm enough to work in. I did have the shocks redone and now need to put it back together so I can use those nice bolts that dartyppyt gave me last fall !!
