Bike restoration in Chiang Mai?

[MartinThai]

Anyone know if there are any good bike restorers in Chiang Mai? Professional, amateur, Thai or western, doesn't matter s'long as I can find someone who does a great job..... I really don't have the time or expertise to do credit to the bike I want to restore to as good a condition as possible.

The beast in question?

Speak to Tu at the Triumph shop at the north end of Moon Muang Rd., he should be able to find someone suitable.

The server I am on will not let me see the image of the bike so I cannot tell if it is a vintage Rudge sport or a slightly damaged Suzuki scooter..

If indeed it is a vintage bike there is a Thai guy close to Chang Phuak gate that restores old bikes and from what I can see he does very good work.
I do not have a phone number or a street address or even a name but if it can wait another 2 weeks I can show you when I am back from work.

Cheers,

Thanks Phil and Hassman.
The bike is still with me in Chonburi but I'll be moving up to Chiang Mai lock, stock & barrel in June so I'll check out both your suggestions.
Hassman the bike is a 1981 GL1100 Gold Wing Interstate, so not Vintage but certainly considered a Classic and as such may well be worth the money to bring her back to A1 condition...... she's been sitting unloved in a back yard (under a roof) for 2 years.

Aha, a Japanese oldie..

Not sure where would be a good place to go for a proper renovation of that bike....

Do you think he's got something against the Japanese?
