Seeing that the paint is rough already. What about staying with a gnarly finish and lay truck bed liner on it?

Bruce comes home from the pub and sees Sheila watching Gordon Ramsay's F%*#ing cooking show on the telly.
Bruce says; "What are you watching that shit for? You can't cook to save your life!."
To which Sheila replies; "So what? You watch porn movies, don’t you?"

Huh, never really thought about that Steve. I talked my brother but he's still keen on a nice gloss black.

Got my seat colour coated in Commodore sting red. I now need to rub it back and then stripe it in orange with white pinlines and then clear over the top. I still need to finish a couple of repairs to the tank and then I can do the same with it.

I also painted the frame in black enamel, and it came out quite good, I think. Tomorrow I will paint the swing arm in silver and then assembly can start, who-hoo, can't wait.

Looking great man!
Thank you very much.
Got some of the frame assembled today, forks in, swing arm and shocks in, handlebars on etc. I am still prepping the seat and tank for final spraying, then I have to rebuild the engine, but that's not a big deal. Hopefully I can get it close to finished before I have to go back to Vietnam.

I now have a rolling chassis. I need to finish the tank and seat and then I can rebuild the motor and install it, then do all the wiring. Not too much left now.

Thank you.
The weather isn't too good here at the moment so instead of painting I decided to pull the motor apart. I removed the stator and then went to the other side and found I did not have a tool for removing the oil slinger, so I spent an hour making one up. I milled the slots out and then welded it onto an old socket and it worked fine.

Once the cases were all apart I spent hours cleaning them up with degreaser and a power washer. They came up quite well, but I have a mate who has a water blaster so I might see if he can blast them for me. If I do that and they come up as well as I expect then I may just leave them bare, and paint the cylinder, head and sidecovers. I think that will look quite good.
