No, sorry mate not yet, I have primed some of the panels, but it has been really too cold to do top coats, etc. I'm just trying to get the thing back on the road, but looking at the wheels,calipers, and swing arm, they look mint, I think in the summer it will be engine out and from powder coated black.

Nice, I'll be doing my wheels, calipers and swingarm, I've got a 2nd swingarm almost, but bike will have to go off road to do wheels

Wheels come in @ £120 all in, Ian you will have to buy new wheel bearings and fit them afterwards.
The Calipers, are now bright red they where expensive, the 2 fronts cost me £90 sprayed with 2k paint. The rear was £35.00.
The swing arm with the ends of the swing are and the tension arm come in @ £30.00. From a guy @ sidcup motorcycles called Marc.
Nice guy, good service, even drilled and fitted a new bleed nipple and chucked in a set of rear pads for free.
Now he is trying to convince me to get the frame powdercoated.

I looked into getting frame powdercoated before the price is not too bad if you can take bike apart and put back yourself, if you add labour for someone to do it and put back together again it reaches silly money...
