Afternoon. Was talking to a nice chap the other day who said there's a man in north yorks, around scotch corner area, who restores fantic's as a passion. I missed an absolute mint 245 he restored the other day.

Anyone know who he is?

Hello, the Fantic your on about belonged to me, I restored it over a period of 3 months but decided to sell due to the fact that at the moment I prefer to ride either my 240 pro or my RTL 250, the 245 turned out really nice,I have another 245 and also a 205 which I plan to restore over the course of time.

Hi Andy. Nice to hear from you. Must say you did a superb job on that 245. Be great to talk to you about it. My number is 07968 163410. David

Thanks David, the bike did turn out really nice, and it went as good as it looked to! I've left you a voicemail so just give me a bell back when your free, I will be happy to talk to you about it.

Andy did you apply new fluorescent orange paint? If so where did you get it from?

Regards

Dave

I purchased a litre of the day glow orange from a local automotive paint shop, they looked into it and managed to track some down for me, it cost around £40, which was more than enough to do the hubs, fork legs and tank, i used white primer then lots of light coats of the orange, the coverage is poor and it does take many coats to build up a nice finish, if you do not have a compressor and spray gun Halfords do a fluorescent orange in aerosol cans to.

Hi Andy. I was going to text you my email but because it was voicemail it didn't show your number. Can you text me so I can return my email to you.

Hi Andy. My email is davidcarter76@hotmail.co.uk
