Hey guys,
I have bought a 1973 VLB 150 Sprint. It's a cool looking little bike but it needs some work done.
I'm looking for some advice about the best way to restore it. The paint is chipped so I want to strip the bike and respray it. If I'm taking it back to the basic frame should I replace all the wiring etc?
So far I have taken off all the metal, lights, petrol tank, rubber, exhaust, side arches. I'm up to the steering column.
Any advice on where to get high grade parts at a low cost?
The spray job has been quoted at $650 if I break the bike down. Is this a good price? What are the original paint colours and how should I get it finished?
I live in Sydney and would like to meet up with anyone who has restored these bikes in the past.
Any all all advice is welcome.
