Progress at last! Frame now primered and guide coated!
   Now starting to fettle the rear mudguard brackets. Im having to fill the dodgy welds I did when I made them,which is taking ages and looks crap,so have decided to re make parts of them and get the guy who welded the frame  to weld them nicely,then I wont have to fill them.
  May do the same with the h/bars I built.

At last some headway! Just received my order of a complete set of s/s nuts and bolts for the engine. Also received all the gakets for the engine. Started removing ancillaries and cleaning them and painting/ polishing ,will refit them with the new gaskets . Have been painting individual items like the prop,h/brake mechanism and other brackets.Long way to go yet!

I like the drilled headstock gusset. Looking rather spiffing there Rodney.

After spending about 4 hours yesterday modifying my rocker cover,I dont like the look of it and have now decided to stick with the original style! The workmanship is ok,but it looks too bulky to me.Hence my advert in the wanted section!
