Decals should go on tommorow, then lacquer, as many coats as possible

Belly pan not done as needs fibreglassing around the casing holes

looking good so far mate, nice shiney hub have you waxed it to preserve the shine?

  • Author

Yup Meguairs Metal polish, works pretty good on the alloy, use it after the autosol and ya get a pretty decent shine

Cor, that silver one looks so 1980s futuristic tech.... I want one!!!

Are you going to get some lovely big boxy panniers too?

  • Author

Aye the silver ones 1982, they look half the size without all the plastic,lol,

You can have that one when she's finished

Not a chance, lol, i hate panniers on a bike thats not built with them,

You're doing a grand job there Knight B) och aye

You can have that one when she's finished

HAVE???!!!

Or purchase? ;)

Coz I *will*, ya know... I'm a pedantic bastard like that! :lol:

Lol, you can have it, as long as you don't mind parting with the paper stuff :lol:

Cor'Blimey, that really making me want to get home and start working on mine... where did you get the decals done and is there any way you can get the original paint codes?

also, is that right-hand silencer the original? or "repaired", thinking about welding mine back up with a bit of fabrication

  • Author

The right silencer is original tho been repainted in pj1, i have another thats been welded previously, no good to me but certainly do in an emergency

Paint codes are near impossible to find,

Automart do a silver alloy that seems to be a good match, won't know til its clearcoated

Decals bought on ebay from an american company, good color match but now as i've applied them i've found the ones for the nose are too short

WP_000147.jpg

And the rear is too dark

WP_000148.jpg

WP_000149.jpg

WP_000150.jpg

Not sure whether to keep them or try again

Clear coating starts today

cheers for the info Knight, im still itching to get back and start taking mine apart, got it all planned out on a spreadsheet down to the stainless steel fasteners ;)
