Thanks once again for the comments.It's been said before by a few folk but they do keep the motivation up. Just got out of the garage fitting new chain and putting the PV cables on. Jobs left. Fit carbs and set them up. Tighten flywheel and front sprocket. Take sidestand to powdercoaters (completely forgot about it!) Cables, fluids, smell my cloud. Few more shiny ones of the tank. And my other shiny thing Int Mer brilliant?

Hi Billy, I managed to find a product on ebay called Spraymax 2k
Its a 2 part rattle can like the MIPA stuff, but cheaper.13 quid with postage for 400 ml.That MIPA works out at 20 quid with VAT and post. You have that extra nozzle at the bottom and a red button which mixes the other component. It comes with an adjustable fan nozzle, and went on quite nice. I should have been a bit more confident and laid it on a bit thicker.I had to flat a bit too much for comfort.

That's come out lovely. A truly great job. What did you use on your pipes? I've gone the B&Q BBQ spray route and it scratches chips and hates petrol Well done! Simon

Thanks chaps.
The pipes were done in my very last can of PJ1 satin engine and case spray. I did them in the same stuff last year and they only needed a quick dust over, because it stuck for a full summer of abuse.The guys at my local bike shop used to stock it, and are sure it will be on sale here again soon.Something to do with a few words on the label.

Amazing! Congrats. Where did you find the original design? It ain´t something produced by Yamaha is it?

Amazing! Congrats. Where did you find the original design? It ain´t something produced by Yamaha is it? Not quite, it's my own complete design, but it was kind of blended together from two or three Yamaha schemes. Welcome to the site too. ;D
