super job !!!
have you tried cms.nl for a oe screen if david silvers came up blank ?
good oe screens must be rare a s/h one went on ebay last year for over sixty quid.

surely someone on here is hoarding a new/good screen to finish of a fantastic restoration ?

Get an NC29 :) You already have a V4 80's/90's 400, get an I4 one to boot ;)

I'll see if I still have snaps but there was an NC29 at my local bike meet in the summer that was restored to a similar fashion as your bike.. the owner didn't move more than 30 yards from the bike most of the night I think but he had quite a fair bit of interest.

Paintwork like glass, plastics were a deep gloss black, metalwork pukka, not a sign of rust, tarnish, dirt anywhere on the bike.

I reckon it looks lovely and will be a top machine.. I hope you are going to ride it!!

All I would nit pick on would be the HRC stickers.....although they give 10BHP they are out of place (IMO) on this scheme.

Bottom line - a great job done :ugeek:

Cheers for the comments, i see what you mean by the HRC decals, but i quite like them and the extra cheap performance they give is a bonus!. 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 .

58 is really good for a standard bike. Concidering they're 59 out of the crate...
