    Well after my last off at anglesey I decided to paint the bike up and buy some new leathers etc.

    Just went to a local motor paints store and bought rattle tins. Flatted them down and repaired what needed it with fiberglass.

    Still got the tank to do when I have more time. Think it came out ok with masking tape and newspaper lol.

    Very tidy. How did you do the lines on the tail and nose? Did it take many cans?

    Nice job YT, looks good.

    Hopefully you managed to buy some anti crash paint, well worth the extra money in the long run.

    I tried it when it first come out, it was a bit experimental then, as evidenced by a rather large off at Cadwell, but it appeared to improve as time went on.
