Yes sorry for the lack of bins, I thought you might like the fact I have a light out in the garage, and the washing line was never gonna go amiss!

Lloydie, guess I was asking for that :lol:

Painted the front cam cover, it had a little flaking so thought I'd do it while it's off. What a pain getting the crap sealant off the cover side where the gasket/seal goes, if your just removing the cover for cct work or valve clearance then the gasket stays in place but to paint you need to remove it, I got most of the old sealer off and will use RTV on it when putting the gasket back on.. Cover looks nice in Tech cote high temp gloss black.

Very slowly :lol: took the cam cover off nearly 3 weeks ago and only painted it today. work has to come first so it just sits there and I do a little bit when I can. next jobs are pop the cleaned carbs back on and the cam cover, rub down and paint the oil cooler lines then should be ready to fire up (on an auxillary tank) and balance the carbs. after that it's paint fork lowers and subframe, phosphoric acid the inside of the tank, fit some goodies then ride.. I'd like it done before end of April at the latest so not panicking just yet.

I like the look of the SSSwingarm too, but it will lengthen the wheel base by 2" (50mm) IIRC, so that will change the good work you have/had done to the suspension :problem:
