That is stunning, chief! Page 9, first picture post, last but one pic - I have never seen an undertray where you can actually see the colour of the paint before... remarkable...

I would only change 3 things:
1- the nut-sack protector on the tank is the ugliest one I've ever seen.
2- The HRC sticker must go, even if it brings you to 68bhp form 58bhp.
3-... Boy, that is NOT a standard exhaust! Where's the slide plate? There aren't even mounts for one.

Other than that, this is the best restoration I have ever seen bar none.

How much did the blasting and powdercoating cost you overall in the end? There would be a fair few takers on here if you did that comercially.

I know its not a standard exhaust, its a scorpion can. As for the HRC decals, you cant go wrong with a bit of HRC!

We are in the process of pricing up an industrial blast cabinet , so will perhaps in the not too distant future be offering a bead/grit blasting service to anyone who wants to send / deliver bike parts to be blasted.

There 59PS / 43KW which is 58bhp.

Last night i found in amongst the paperwork i got with the bike a dyno print out from RLR motorsport!! 58 bhp at the back wheel, so i guess its standard inside, but still nice to know .

Ditch the stickers :D Your bike will thank you for it

ok i think i will try n remove them, i dont want to damage the paint though!

Ok , i hope you lot are happy, my bike has just lost 10bhp because of you. The HRC decals are gone!

BS is there any chance of some dimensions for your stand, as i work in a food fac we have S/S box section a round and would make a good stand.
cheers jas

leave the stickers i like them ,something different to everyone elses .

Yeah i quite liked them!!

stink, keep us posted on that blasting stuff because i like what you've done with yours and kinda wanna follow the same path, how far away is not to distant future eh
