Some of you may feel a slight sense of déjà vu here as this scooter will have a very similar paint scheme to a previous Indian GP which I built a few years ago!
It starts with a frame! A 1969 dl125. Bought two weeks ago.

Same style same colours slightly different!
Everything is different ie, the majority of parts. But with an S Typeish theme! ( an RS Type ) !

Yes Daz mate.
Frames back from paint.
Stand on first
Cast 225 engine going in for now.
Used offset frame cones incase I change to top end and it needs more clearance.
Engine in, BGM rear shock.
New Scootopia GP toolbox lock.
Need to get the frame fork bearing tracks in so I can fit the forks yet. Lower one seems tight so I'm gonna freeze it and heat the frame to get it in!

Looking nice already.....
I haven't got a winter project yet, but this is making me think I need to find something. Time in the garage is therapeutic don't you think?

Coming along very nicely and quickly - you'll need to find another dozen projects to do this winter if you keep this pace up! Paint looks top quality - is it your usual painter?

What's the finish on the rims? Paint or powder?
