Hi all,
I finally managed to restore my '99 shogun to stock. When i started 2 months back, i was actually planning on selling it and going for one of the new bikes. Its condition was quite bad and i hadn't particularly taken good care of it. But then xBHP made me realise that i should instead stick onto it and give it a new life.
The total expense was about 15k and the major part of that was thanks to the 0.5 ART piston, original SGP rings and a decent paint job. The rest of the bill included about 45 different items ranging from every single nut/bolt to a new electrical kit. The tyres are still stock (10 yr old!!!), which i plan to change once i recover from this bill.
The bike feels good so far, but i haven't opened it up completely considering its just been re-bored.
I'd like to share some pics. Hope you'll like them.
ps: vasanth, thanks for the tip on the piston/rings!
