Good grief! How long did that take you? Alex ps looks stunning First time round took days Rubbing off the Anodizing with wet n dry ( no chemicals used ) before final polish a real labour of love.... A now dreaded job I gotta do on the Swingarm .. The bottom yoke took roughly 5 hrs to do in comparison the top yoke is gonna take twice as long as its rough cast... Gonna make me fingers darn well ache all over again !!! (rofl)

Excellent work Mr K. That's as good a finish as any professional would get you. I'm sure you could commit the perfect crime now, due to lack of finger prints !! Look forward to your progress Dusty

Nice work on the shock. Did you get the coil powder coated? I know a great place that does that in Chertsey.

Looks great and rear wheel does look nice and wide. Is it an optical allusion. Are the wheels in line?
