Got me a 'Blade

That Abba stand? Are they any good? Looks expensive for what it is.

Aye, it's scientifically designed to create a swirling vortex of overspray that comes straight back into your face.

Finished the refurb of the top yoke tonight.

The nicked recycling box is slightly better then that.
What you attacked the yoke with?

The marks were too deep into the finish so I took it back with various grades of went n dry and then metal polish to give a flat, slightly shiny finish.

Then I clamped the yoke in the Black & Decker Workmate. Wrapped a piece of 240 grit wet n dry round a sanding block and drew it down the length of the yoke a couple of times to replicate the brushed finish. If I did it again I'd use a higher grit paper as it's cut a bit deeper than the original.

After that I masked off the top and painted the rest with Simoniz Alloy Wheel Silver.

For finishing touches I painted the lettering back into the ignition switch and got a new "TEN" sticker from Honda for the left fork cap.

Too much work for me this winter
