Karen's good. With orange fit a black clutch cover and also paint the shock spring black IMO . Consider the outlawish Charger orange colour.  |

The glossy depth gives it the look of a modern art installation.  . A mate has 900 Supersport fairings hanging in his lounge room. |

And the final coat.... my heart is always in my mouth when painting over decals... I have found by experience you MUST wipe them over with panel wipe, and make sure the first coat of lacquer is a mist coat which then has to tack off... then a couple of coats on top. if you go with a full coat first you always get runs off the lip on each letter! I will let them dry fully in the drying oven... OK, the small bathroom as that is the hottest room in the house!  |

out in the sunshine... people are saying I have an obsession with Orange! Clutch cover is now on... tank plate now finished.... lost an entire day as I could not get the TPS voltage to register on the ignition... turns out that I had the TPS load in pin 9 and it should have been pin 6.... wrong way up! its registering voltage readings now so next few days I will post a video    |

Thanks! It took a while to make... i used a sand bag to planish it into shape, and a press tool to make the raise for the ignition switch... working with alloy makes me want to make a tank! |

Question... is bike building a form of self isolation? As I am going to leave the belts open I thought it best to at least have a token grill to stop big stones flicking up… particularly off the front wheel. Its still a risk I know… I made this grill out of Stainless steel mesh, and 6mm stainless tube. I needed to cut a slot in the tube to make it neat, so I made a jig and used a 0.9mm cutting disk. it worked rather well! just got to polish it now. Also fitted new belts... I have used the app on my phone before for tensioning and its very good. takes any guesswork out of it. after fitting the belt on the horizontal cylinder I tensioned it using the app… and on the vertical cylinder I tensioned it to the good old trusted method of twisting it 90 degrees on the longest run to what years of experience told me felt right… when I checked it I was VERY close, which was quite pleasing.     |

Thanks! Sometimes it doesn't go to plan... it would not start... I spent a good few hours trying to understand why... I had taken the tank off a few times to change things and had put a clamp on the fuel pipe.... and forgot!  |
