Powdergate update: There is a definite difference in shades of white, 9010 is creamy whilst 9003 (as I've come to learn) is sharper, as per what's on the wheels already. As the powder guy told me the incorrect RAL number, my sprayer mate went ahead with 9010....came out nice....nice n creamy...yikes!!
So, today I've called the bike shop to pause the tyre/tube install, no problem. Picked up the wheel and, along with a side panel, trotted along to the powder guy...who admits he gave me the incorrect RAL code and has offered a full refund to compensate, which I think, while fair is unfair as he coated the wheels in the correct shade and it's the wheels I'll be keeping.....'that's how the cookie crumbles' as they say.
I'm happy to use him again and recommend too...no hard feelings.
Did I mention I'd mounted the carbs, after fuel testing them of course, and the RamAir filters fit snugly too.
RamAir? I hear you say, yes, it's not lost on me that Suzuki did have a Ramair system, just not on this engine. Cables all work - check, engine side cases fit - check, battery live - check.....do we have a fuel supply? yes - check...hmmm?
