Wow, those elbows must be a blur. Check out my vid under the mods section - 17 inch conversion. You'll see I didn't go anywhere near as far as you've gone with yours.
Just that project took me a full 7 days, plus a half day to fix any last issues after the first ride.
I see by the billboard of a rear number plate, you could be in England. I used to live in East Anglia - suffolk

I want to ask what you use to clean up the outside of the motor and get back to pre-paint mode.   One of the picts looks like a sand blaster in the background.  Any other chemistry you would like to endorse?  Words of inspiration??   Thanks for saving one of the breed, good on ya!     :drinks:

well i would like to say all sorts of new stuff you put on and leave for 20 Min's and wash off looks like new and re paint  sorry it was hrs and hrs rubbing down with anything that would do the job and brake and clutch cleaner  but with lots of work its looks good  and the paint was just some engine high temp gloss spray paint

Thanks for the inspiration!  Looks great! 
Another question - what paint did you use for the frame?  Have you used it on other projects?  How does it hold up to use?

Thanks,
Chris

just Hammerite silver paint its about the right colour
