Hey mate,
There's no paint on it at all, that's the natural metal colour. I haven't got a final bill as I've kept throwing things in for blasting but will let you know prices once he's done. He's a nice guy working from his shed in Glenhaven.
Dropped the carbies off yesterday even though I had already cleaned the hell out of them and reassembled, I saw how great the cases came out and couldn't leave them like that.

Onboard just out of admiration for the way you are heading this build. I have an 82' 750F as well but it's just been sitting and waiting. You however are totally owning this one. Nice work man.

When I started the build I was more of the mind of just slapping it together on the cheap, but as soon as I got more involved I realised I wanted to get it right. I want to be proud of what I'll be riding one day.
And by the looks of it, you'll be riding before me mate!

I like riding too much to have an unridable bike sitting in the garage, and the wife won't let me buy another one so it's full steam ahead for me.
I got my spacers today, just need to polish the rear axle sleeve down to fit the bearings. I'll spend the night on them at work tomorrow. Also going to cut down and re thread the pivot bolt now that I don't have the rear peg mounts.

Decided the neatest and easiest way to put in a strong upper mount for the rear shock would be to remove the pressed steel plate that is the mounting point for the airbox (gone), the battery tray (gone) and the fuel tank (will reincorporate that into the mount).

Got to love when the grinding disc hits you so hard that it sprays blood everywhere!
Night shift tonight which means an empty workshop to play in!
