Restoration Resources
If you're still browsing my site then there's a fair chance that you are now considering the restoration of a Raleigh Burner.  Don't worry - you're part of an ever growing community and there are lots of people out there who will be pleased to help.  In addition to the Internet Forums which you can find through the 'Quick Links' at the foot of this page there are some excellent www sites that are specifically dedicated to this topic.

One word of warning - restoring Burners is addictive!  I started off in 2004 by returning my childhood Extra Burner to pristine condition and I now find myself with a collection that is approaching double figures..!

  "How to..."
  Mag Burner's Raleigh Burner Forum is now hosting a range of 'How to...' guides compiled by forum members.  Surely the most useful restoration resource on the internet for fans of the Raleigh Burner!

An Awesome Collection of Restored Burners
The image below captures Julian Taff's incredible Burner collection gleaming in the Winter sunshine (early in 2005). Julian's work really has set the standard that all Burner restorations are measured against and his bikes are an inspiration to us all.  Cool!

  Julian Taff's huge Burner collection!
