Well, it's all been positive on the paint front. I laquered, t cutted & polished it over the weekend. It's far from perfect, but it's been a brilliant exercise for me. The bike looks fantastic now, I'm really pleased with it. Now that the paint is done I can start working on the electrics & other small items & she should be done....... Just in time for Winter

Looking very nice.

Cheers guys.
In the past I have rushed things & made mistakes. This time I have taken my time & done things right. I've got a compressor now, so am going to start looking at using a proper spray gun instead of rattle cans like I have with the ZXR. It's all about learning, keeps the old brain active

Nice work as always Col, when you tidying up my curvy

I might have to start doing this "Bike tarting up" lark as a business, had a few people ask me now

Little update:
Things are starting to slow down a little as money is a little tight at the moment, but I have got hold of a 2nd hand screen. I wanted clear, but this turned up on Ebay for £10.50, so had to get it. Mirrors are on their way (£15 for the pair), so, looking at my list, I have a chain & sprocket kit, front indicators & a speedo cable & it should be done
