I could print just about anything that fits in a 140mm cube. Obviously they wires will get tidied up. Been trawling thingyverse for stuff to print.

I had some 3D printed Garmin Virbe mounts from sellers on here, as there weren't any commercially available ones. Thousands of items of every shap & size

Took the SV out today for it's 1st proper ride after buying it a couple of weeks ago. I really shouldn't have washed it yesterday

Rooted out my old GS type fairing, went to BS Supplies in Stoke, got the paint mixed & sprayed it up & fitted it today. This has now been fitted to all 3 of my SV's.

That's a nice looking fairing, suits the sv well. I assume you just give BS the paint code and they supply in aerosol can.

I went down on the bike John & they use a machine on the paint to come up with the code. They then make up the colour. It's a 2 part, so had a silver basecoat, then a coloured laquer, never used it before, but it's a good match.

1st one, 2007. Written off just after this picture was taken.


2nd, 2008. This is Custard, she ended up customised & I was too scared to ride it in case I scratched her.

I did wonder if was a two pack paint process as the blue is just a candy that the silver is visible through. I guess the trick is to get the thickness of the blue just right so it matches the rest of the bike.

Rebuilding a 50 year old Howard rotavator for a friend of mine. I couldn't remove the clutch, so, with the advice off a speciallist, I had to chop the crank to remove the clutch. After 2 hours hammering & butchery, it's now in it's component parts. The engine is 50 years old & completely worn out, so it doesn't matter about the crankshaft.
