Obviously going to repaint the blue to match and may or may not remove the orange triangles on the badges.

Metal rescue to the rescue?

Metal Rescue's the bollocks. Got a litre sitting in my gl tank now too. Keep it nice and warm in there and that stuff works wonders

I was just about to bring it up to put in front of the fire. Or prop a heat gun next to it.

Aye, as long as it's warm in there you're in business

Last coat after wet sand. Metal rescue did the trick.

Grabbed a Fuel filter at lunch. I am 95% sure a test ride will happen tonight. If it does end of the week it will get the title changed and insured and ready to go on the road when the last of the little bits are finished.

Fixed the fucking leak. Kicked the shit out of it with choke on. Nothing. Turned choke off and bumped started and vroom! Then clutch was stuck. Gave her a few times and pulled the clutch and a few times it freed up all works. Got idle set and it pulls hard! Yes. Completely ruined the paint LOL. It kicks over after warm with one easy kick. Went about a mile down the road and my hip was done. Way too cramp for me. May need to sort out something if I will be riding it. Fits the new owner though.
