Well I got my tank, fork shrouds, side panels and headlamp shell back from the painter and decorator the other week. I think you'll agree he's done a fantastic job. Anyone guess who did it ?

Very nice, I would be delighted with that, Andy. P.S. You best hurry, they seem to time these things on here, mate.
