It changes depending on the lighting sometimes it looks red, sometimes it looks purple and other times it's black !! Really pleased Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

A little sneak peak of the colour shall post pics up later when it's all on the bike! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Done better than I thought I would! First time I've actually spray painted anything, no runs, even all over, I'm quite happy Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for the advice, I'll keep it in mind, when I get the painted parts back I'll put photos up along the way! Just taking a while at the mo! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Haha I would if i could Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Had a quick look online at the model history, and tank size doesn't seem to change from 1991 to 2002, from that the tank size should fit but maybe someone else can give you a definite answer Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Gave these a little clean Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm really not sure! I was thinking of painting them but not sure, any input foams? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Got the buffing pad and come up nice, it's a dark place so photos don't do it any justice! Sorry Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Would probably turn out horrendous but I guess it might be worth a go Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm facing a slight seat dilemma, the more I stare at the sr seat the more I want to burn it, just so horrible like who would design such a thing?! Basically I'm looking for a seat a bit like Thin and just like this, simple plain black, cheap too hopefully, can anyone direct me in the right place? Don't know how long I can last with the current seat ugh!! I've already had a brief look and can't seem to find much! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I actually took my dads passat turbo apart and cleaned all up, and put it back together, runs lovely now Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

By the end I'll be an electrical engineer so it's all worth it still got a good family though it's all worth it I'd love to get another bike sometime, not to ride just to build up, that needs a bit work to it, mechanically wise Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm at college four days a week 9am till half 6 most days, by the time I get in, cook, walk the dog, it's getting late, weekends I have essays to do, i do fishing competitions most Sundays and Monday nights, be honest I've hardly got any time at all Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Haha! Took about an hour to do that and another piece, not quite the mirror finish I like but just start with a rough grade sand paper (180) then work my way to 1200, not easy but worth it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

A little more polishing has been done, slowly coming along Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

And it's meant to say "bike" not "back" stupid typo Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

A little unsure as of where to post this, do hopefully it's in the right place, sorry if it's not!! Basically I'm waiting for my back to come back from the workshop where it's getting a new paint job, it's in a totally matte colour. I've done a little research but never really found an answer but my question is what can I use to protect and clean the bike? I've heard of using Windex and washing up liquid but apparently harsh on the paint. I want to keep the bike looking new and keep the paint in good condition, any tips, advice would be fab!

Just dropped it off, picked my colour, going to be a cross between purple and burgundy! Such a nice colour can't wait till it's done, be lots of photos to follow Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Haha feel left out being a northerner! And I agree about the ice.. Not much to say about the bike I've finished sanding the panels/ tank etc so will be dropped them off at the spray work shop later! Other than that not much to say, going to order some LEDs and general pottering on Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Mini bar? Nah bottle of jack Daniels and I'm sorted haha Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'll be sticking it away for winter but January/ February time hopefully snow will be gone etc and all things I want to be done to it be done, I'd rather do all the things now while the bikes apart than having to stop riding next year to do things Ah man caves are the best, if it was my choice I'd live in one he he Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ah you're very welcome you poor thing haha next time I'm all cosy and warm working on the bike I'll be thinking of you Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ah it's so nice! Been electrically wired so got lights, plugs for electric tools, door shuts, room for a heater, it's bloody perfect in the winter! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
