      Thanks
      Dear,
      I cannot say the best place, better to buy one at reasonable price, update the papers and get it done as you required.
      There are lots available but too pricey
      cheers

                  Fantastic restoration and awesome paint scheme which depicts the period, i think this must be the costliest restoration for a two-wheeler you restored till now, because lot of parts were imported, feast our eyes by posting the pics of imported parts.

                    Wow. Just read through the entire thread.

                    What a collection Sir. Plus hats off to your passion & enthusiasm.
                    Once I have donned my black helmet, I become anonymous. My face ceases to identify me. My black visor shields others from the rigours of my passing glance while shielding me from their attempts to peer into my soul. I am an anonymous rider shrouded in black. I am no longer a specific self. I am a passing Traveller.
