    Uhmmmmm ..... you know I said earlier that you're a "craftsman"? Well, what I REALLY meant, and should have said, was that you are an artisan. You take the craft of motorcycle restoration to a wholly different level.

    You'll have to excuse me - I'm going back into that darkened room ...... I need a much stronger incantation routine. :worried:

    Well the tank and mudguards are at the pinstripers and the horrible job of painting the rechromed badges can't be put off any longer as i will need them in the next day or so.

    Very nice as always over or under stripes lacquer that is ? I was pleased with my over , Simon Used a eurethane on mine which if honest wasn’t too pleased with the paint that is , it left what looked like dust / tiny bubbles which I think were a tiny reaction , showed mainly under fluorescent light but as I struggled to get hold of him after dropped front guard I went with local chap who was good also who went over the top using enamel and was please with the result . On holiday for a few weeks now on push bike , hopefully I will have a number plate when I return. . Keep up the excellent work . I am like you no good with numbers or righting

    I used another more local guy this time to save traveling and it will do for now but plan to do it myself again later.

    I sometimes wish you didn't put those pictures up - that's another pair of strides ruined by an involuntary release ...........

    And, back in that darkened room, the incantations continue ..... (and it isn't nam myoho renge kyo!)
