Pierre, Gday mate, I'll take a picci of the the spare hanger in the next couple of days for you, the springs are standard, i still have to re bush the eyes and do the king pins yet. No sand blasting, just a really heavy wire wheel on the grinder (wear gloves n glasses if you use one) :o

Thanks Sratcha, yeah looks like I'm missing the rear hoop & crossbars for my "K" model.
I'll put out a search via the "Where do I get it" section. Someone may have a spare they want to part with
Cheers

Hi Scratcha, looking real good there mate. Watching with great interest. That's a nice "patina" finish.

Pardon my ignorance but what are H4 lights? You've kept the lenses, so are they now a sealed beam inside? Can you provide details.

Also, did you have to pull all the springs apart?
Keep up great work
