Re: Aprilia Pegaso
Cleaning isn't really my thing Col, but I can do a decent job when I have to, about 2/3 the way through at the moment a few bits will need a polishing mop to get them back to standard, probably do that Friday.
I also got a load of bits the previous owner hadn't fitted, heated grips, handguards, a HID kit, as well as fitting the replacement footpeg (I've removed both at the moment). Hopefully get another seat and fit one with a topbox (rather than a rack), and if I find a decent priced set of cans I may get those on it two, new rear tyre and C&S, all that should still bring it in under £2k.

Re: Aprilia Pegaso
How to make your bike look much better in two easy steps.
Step 1 - take dull, blurry picture using phone's camera. Step 2 - take clear, sharp, bright picture using decent camera. Simples! |

Re: Aprilia Pegaso
Whilst I can't disagree with you Ian on the two different cameras or even on the two days apart, if you have a camera that takes off rust, re-lubes pivot points and washes the bike down, do let me know, it would have saved a great deal of time.......
 just for you taken with the same camera on the same day... All the wheels looked like this  and the otherside of the same wheel after a bit of de-greasing and elbow grease, looks like...

Re: Aprilia Pegaso
I'd just got home from picking it up, my phone was on me, not the Dslr, but the whole bike was dull matt, so even a crystal clear image wouldn't have made a diffference.
Mind you easy enough to remedy, just turnup at Soho and see for yourself......

Re: Aprilia Pegaso
my dear boy, ironing is what the wife does, when the occasion warrants I press...
fitted the handguards the previous owner provided, nice chunky alloy bar ones, should see me the winner in the "wingmirror wars" in the smoke....   Cheers Mark.
