FG1, I'll get the guys name and number and post it here. Are you going to the Shire tomorrow evening?
It would have looked rubbish without black wheels and maybe also a black frame. They look good and'll hopefully last a fair few maintenance free years.

The bottom yoke had some surface rust, but nothing major. No real reason really, just didn't think about it!
Bonus, noo too far away.

Details would be appreciated. How long do they have them for?

It gets easier to keep it clean the more you polish it, i just have to autosol it now, front cylinder isnt a problem either with the fender extender on just keep on top of it and its fine, i ride mine all year round and it still is near enough showroom nick.

I'm afraid my opinion is it looks a bit odd... Then again it's your bike not mine!
(nice looking bike at that btw)
