It's hard to express what it is but it's so engaging. Do something to it and you can feel it straight away.

Very well put

Chris.

Both front and back wheels now rubbed back for the final coat.

Waiting for a warm day to do it.

Probably get it done this week end and will post pics.

Bloody cold here at the moment.

Oi, stop shipping your cold over here.

Wheels have had their 3rd coat and are now ready for the final coat in the next few days.

Split the chain, cleaned up all the gunk around front sprocket and fitted the new one.

It was filthy in behind the sprocket!

Another week or so and should be back on the road.

looking real nice mate.....
I've got a one front sprocket cover to fit, my only worry is how messy it might get, keep me updated on how you get on, and hurry up with those wheels, i'm dying to see how they turned out...

we all are! and wow how clean is that!, great job.

Looking lovely and clean it's surprising how much can build up behind the sprocket cover. I see you won't have that problem with the new Coerce bling job

Chris.

Wheels almost done, in the mean time fitted new rear sprocket to the carrier, also have new Cush drive rubbers !



Slow process but I want it right!

Let me guess your bike is blue ?!! Looks nice tho don't know if the ali nuts are up to the job

I've used the ali nuts on a few bikes now, they seem to be fine, my blue bike will be getting silver ti nuts....
looking good Kenmoore.........

The alloy nuts have been on for about 3,000 miles and to date no probs.

The only thing is that they do not require as much torque as the standards.

Yes they are a bit blingy, but so am I!

The wheels are nearly done, the weather has held me up a bit.

I took the 848 and the Tuono for a ride today and while they are both nice bikes I miss the Storm.

Becoming very impatient now, should be done early next week.

Get the new tyres on and fit the new chain and Cush rubbers and look out!

Will post pics for your opinions.

P.S the Storm is the best colour and you know it!(Couldn't resist)

Still at it, almost at the end.

Endless rubbing back and painting.

Can't wait to finish, have encountered some problems along the way with the paint frying up!

Taking my time now!



Really giving me the shits, have done everything by the book, never had this happen before!

Will get there but am extremely frustrated!

Wow, that paint is reacting badly to something on that rim.

they will be a "well worn Rim" in Devon this week
