    Gorgeous restoration! Some serious skills on display there - from painting & polishing to instrument refacing and mechanicals. Well done.

    This build is being featured in the BikeBuilds.net directory here: Murdo's 1967 DS-5 250cc

    We're currently displaying only a reduced-size photo (similar to what you'd find in Google Images). We'd like to ask for your permission to publish the original full-size image with your build listing.

    If anyone would like to have a build of their own listed, just send me a message with a link to the build thread and we'll take care of the rest.

    Yes, you may use the photo Ken.
    You may also wish to list some of the resto's on the VJMC forum (vjmc.org.au). Mine is on there too, along with my trophy winning Honda SL125 and Kawasaki KE175.
    If you like this, stick around and see what is coming next. :D
