not sure i'll be polishing the engine.
just going to give it a new coat of black paint to make it look like new again and that'll be it!
i'm pretty sure it wont look that bad against the chrome as when I get the fairing parts resprayed i'm thinking of going for a black base anyway so should all tie in nicely.

yeah might have a look into that, i wouldn't be doing the top though as i've got a carbon fibre cover on it already but might have a go at the rest of it.

no me neither!
hopefully it should start to take shape but unfortunately i'm back at work next week so progress is more than likely going to slow down a bit!

thanks to all the replies again!
Just in the process of retaping all the wiring loom and also polishing the top yoke so hopefully i'll have some more photos tonight.
Like i said yesterday though it'll be an earlier night tonight hopefully as up at 4.30 in the morning so that we can get to cadwell for the superbikes.

Awesome times, hopefully the top yoke polishes up as well as the rest of the bike!!

And have a good time at the BSB at cadwell, should be excellent!!
