Looks like it's solid enough and just needs a clean (and please, a colour change :unsure:), the technical bits put back on and you'll have a Gilera worth showing ay any future events.

the v5 states the bike is yellow so i'm thinking about going for the yellow fairings but unsure of what color for the frame maybe red or black. Pete all the bits are laid out next to each other in the garage so no chance of loosing bits, i am planning to either buy a sandblasting kit or get it done at a shop either late this week or early next week. So most of the parts can go back on sometime soon.

The usual Crono scheme was pink/white/black:


I happened to find this, will do a PDF for the manuals section. David has loads more documents like this.

They look OK in yellow though like this one.

My Morini was in pieces for two years because I borrowed the engine for a Forgotten Era hill climb bike. You won't have time to lose your bits ;)

That looks nice in the yellow and black, my fairings are not originals though so i will go with the yellow scheme and once i have got enough cash saved then i will look for the original plastics in the factory colors

I have an old but usable GFR silencer in the shed somewhere that may fit. Put up a photo of your old one and I'll check if it's a possibility.
