Thanks for the tips Paul. I've actually done the restoration now. I managed to keep the badges on the sides intact when I removed them and the rear badges were scratched and the gold colouring all ready faded away so I sanded them down and polished them up and they now look chrome. I got hold of some roundhead rivets from a leather shop and put the rear plates back in.
All in all it's a satisfying result for my first time. Just bought a bargain kashimax aero and will be sorting that out next. Need to find some foam to put some padding back on it though. Anyone know what sort of foam is best for saddles and where I can get hold of some?
