Thanks mate, great pics, I also checked out the Graftin rally pics. I'm going to have to block the calendar when the next one comes up. I saw Pete on his 1100, but it looks like there was perhaps only one other 1100. Could that have been Marks?

The replacement centre stand arrived today :yahoo:, just waiting on the new slip ons. Unfortunately work is out of town next week, so the pace will slow up, plus a busy day Saturday with an expected hangover Sunday, so not much will happen this weekend..

hangover, check.
Hair of the dog, check.
Got heaps done today and will be able to arrange the final steps for daily ride.
Pics here are of the cleanup of the foot peg brackets.
Method was start with 400 w&d, then 800, and finish with1500. This was the finish I was after as it is most similar to factory.

Mate, they were HARD to clean up. The ones they will replace are quite clean and look good, but the two end returns with the three holes have been ground off. I assume the gear sack rack was probably attached & snapped them. Plus the crack on the LHS.

I wanted to renew the black paint inserts on the brackets, so before the last two polish passes I taped them up and gave them a couple of coats of gloss black. My guess is the factory probably did the pain then polish and clear coat, so I've used that method. Here's the paint ..

Does the donor still have it's tank cap? Mine is pretty pitted through the chrome. Also, if I can replace the tank cap, I should be able to swap key barrels out right?
