Hi gang If I ever get the extension finished I'll be stripping my hybrid and reframing it Reason being its a matching numbers uk bike with loads of history I've already had a frame sorted for the hybrid so just need time Loads of nos parts have already been sourced and the panels are back from Cordwells Matt

that paint looks the biz and the best colours imo, I have seen that name a few times on here now , out of interest ( and being a bit thick) do most painters use graphics or do they paint it all cheers mart

Mark has the decals put on by image works who make and supply them Not many painters spray them on as far as I know

Nice paint! Yes nearly all use decals as that's how they come from the factory and actually painting the graphics takes a lot of time...I know lol.

Hi Yogi
paint set looks lovely!
So, are you keeping the hybrid engine, suspension etc and just putting on this bodywork?

Hi mouse
The hybrid will be the same but on a different frame painted red though
The lc2 paint work will be built on the hybrid frame and matching cases
The 385 in the hybrid is not the matching engine for the frame
Cheers Matt

I contacted them a while ago and they will make any decal you like. They even do lacquered ones in case the tank/side panel whatever is already lacquered. However they did mention it's not a great idea to use them as they can lift quite easily. Wonder why they make them then?
