  1. Those exhausts have come up lovely. What did you use? Autosol and compound?

  2. WTF was going on with that soldering:eek:
    Even for a complete novice that was shite. Obviously the guy didn't have a soldering iron. Must have used matches:joy:
    You're doing a fine job on that bike though:)

  7. Popped into work this morning to get some stuff sorted for next week. Gave the swing arm a wash, not too bad, typical been run with a worn chain slipper but will get it apart and tig it up before I re-coat it

  10. Great thread Ollie. Quality work. What colours for the frame and rear shock did you use?

  11. Cheers Gary, Had a PPG match mixed for the frame and wheels, rear shock "copper" is a mipa colour i chose from a chip at work and the rear spring is a random yellow powder I had here

  15. Swing arm stripped today after work after w nice wash. Will get this tigged up and then I can get it coated this weekend hopefully. Looking forward to more re-assembly!

    bought an oil cooler as I couldn’t find anything in half decent condition so will get that measured up against the oe one and then I can make that work too

  17. Good progress today, all the bearings Removed. Ordered all new parts abs got swing arm coated. Have gone a slightly darker shade but think it’s going to look lovely with the yellow

  18. This looks amazing I really need to carry on with mine but the situation doesn’t allow at the moment, your making me incredibly envious being able to crack on and get this all done. As has been said it’s going to look awesome when done.

  19. Small update today, got all that last bits off of the frame, gave it a good wash and got it all blasted ready for masking and coating next week

    also had all the bearings arrive for the swing arm, new head races etc too

    the rear hight adjuster has seen better days so not sure if I’m going to make a new one of yet find a nice second hand one.
