Lookin goooood                     :good2:

I cant wait till I have a decent enough workshop to use so as I can do the big tear down and make my bike as shiny as yours... I have shine envy.

Great work Elbows. The paintwork looks gorgeous. You must have a lot of spare time.

the biggest part was done quite fast its the body work that takes the time about 12 weeks if the body work had have been good it would have all been done in about 4 weeks
i am not very fast at painting the sticker man had the body work for two weeks

no i just need some one to buy the bike it was allways do up and sell

Looks really splendid!
I painted my engine over 2 years ago. I use heat resistant paint for head and cylinder block, and acrylic for rest of engine.
What kind of paint did you use?
