Where should I start the restoration? When I bought the bike I couldn't remember how much time I've spent for the restoration of my 495/84. After I had taken apart my 495/81 I started to remember how much it was. Rusty spoke nippels, empty shoks, scrached frame, destroyed shift shaft, leaking fork...... You name it! But every one of us know: It's worth the time, and when you are finish, you can enjoy the bike many years! //Tom G
