Fuel tank fitted. Needs cutting back & polishing but that can be done on the bike. New breather pipe fitted.
Various parts delivered to the powder coaters.
Speedy Cables contacted -mine's "on this week's order sheet".
Frame tube sprayed in high build primer, rubbed down & sprayed in gloss black. Had to mask the area around it with paper towel, cos that's all I had to hand at the time. Looked fine so I put everything away & was about to close the garage door when a gust of wind blew the paper towel onto the wet paint. *sigh* -walk away from it, come back tomorrow & do it again.

Text message from Speedy Cables this morning telling me my speedo cable's ready & asking me to phone them to pay for it -great, I'll ring them when I finish work. Nope, they close at lunchtime on Fridays so now I can't ring them till Monday. Maybe they should just be called Cables.
Stepped up my game with the paint masking -cardboard & electrical tape this time. Professional job. Looked alright when I locked up the garage.

Working alongside a professional painter has obviously rubbed off on you.

I discussed masking it up with the cat, but apparently they require a lot of tape to hold them in position.
Speedy Cables are very good at what they do, but since they relocated from London to Wales they seem to have entered some other time zone.

Speedo cable on it's way.
Unmasked the frame & blended the painted tubing into the powder coated areas with some cutting compound. Doesn't look too bad at all, though it's shinier & smoother than the coating -now I'll have to do the rest of the frame too!

Exhausts back on, though they'll need a little tweaking to line up perfectly once I've got the rear mounting tab back from the powder coaters. The rear of the chainguard mounts on the same bolt.
You can see the 12" long conical perforated stainless baffles in the end of each pipe.
