Remember to let the paint harden before clearing it or the paint will bleed throughcybercarl wrote:Primed and coated in Black the replacement left fairing panel. If it wasn't so dark outside I would have had the lacquer on too. That will have to wait until tomorrow now. I hate the fact it gets so dark so soon, it really shortens what can be achieved in a day.

Thanks mate, I had to reshape the foam and add some at the front to level it up as the subframe is jacked up, at least something looks good on itKev L wrote:Seat looks good Jamie. Lot of work in a short time fella

Re: what have you done to your "bike" today
the seat looks really good
I'm slowly taking mine to bits, keeps me off the slippery roads and stops getting the thing covered in salt.
Plans are to give it a good full service and send the forks off to get Roger'd. Depending on how much I take off it 'may' get a satin black frame too...

Re: what have you done to your "bike" today
I took mine for a quick blast today, first time its gone anywhere for about 6 weeks.
when I got out of town and got a little warmth in the tyres it was fun but you can see why its more of a summer thing.
greasy roads , low sun and it took me about 20 minutes to get my gear on !! . knackered

Re: what have you done to your "bike" today
Yep these roads ain't no fun ,
I was going around a roundabout and lost the front ,managed to save it .
then went into a two wheel slide and saved that too !
That wet track day really heightened my feel for when the tyres start to slide and I believe had I not done that wet track day I'd be posting a "I binned it thread"!
