Very slow progress, but I have taken the wheels and footrest hangers to Griff's in Bristol for blasting and powder coating.

Still haven't decided about the frame though as I haven't seen a good colour match yet?

I have also now removed the exhaust, rear shock and swingarm for cleaning up, checking threads and bearings etc. then putting to one side for the rebuild.

The exhaust junction looks a little unusual: different from on my '94 Monster. I'm wondering if this is original. or whether it has been "improved" at some time over its first twenty one years?

Any thoughts?

Looks like someone has taken a very nicely made 2 into 2 system and welded in some chopped up cruciform pieces to connect them?
