not much happened today, wasted journey to the powder coaters followed by being let down by a mate who was going to lend a hand today. tbh just one of those days, i did manage to make a start on spraying another frame and a couple more radiators, plus i started to prep the race bodywork, thats going to be a bit of hard work, they ain't is the best of condition, but then i knew that before i bought them :wink:
off to work in a bit, bring on the piss head..... :Argue:

Added some bling, the tail fairing decal looks crap in the pictures but in the flesh it is a perfect colour match with the red on the wheels.
Fitted new oil cooler pipes.
Brake lines next.
Bike show after that, no doubt that will be more £££££££££££££ i,ll part with, should've bought an SP2 when i wanted one it would have been cheaper than what ive thrown at this!
