Just finished doing tank and thought I would take some snaps of it here she is in all glory








rotary polished useing menzerna awaiting tank pad as the scratches where getting on my tits.
my question to you lot is what screen should i get(colour)and owt else you can think

More stuff to be done will be machine correct rear light and front complete degrease of all alloy parts clean and seal.new grips and yoke cover.Then when mechanic picks it up.reclean and wax and seal.

You certainly get a good finish on a job. Very nice, if you ever get bored and want another one just head down the M1 mate..

Thanks kev what screen you reckon for it im thinking pure red or black.From power bronze.And go down m1 many times im a van driver.Get sick of seeing it though

You want to consider a flip screen

I would go for either plain or dark tint, but my tastes are probably quite conservative. At the end of the day as long as you like it that's all that matters.
Are there any flaws on the paint which the camera doesn't show or is it really as spotless as it looks?

Think dark will be best should blend nice.There is slight swirls which i could get out but untill i pop down to my mates and use is depth gauge to see what microns are left I am going no furhter with it.I would say at present it's 85 percent of what it can be.But who ever as had it before must have realy looked after it

Mine is nice & clean (same year as yours) but there are a couple of very minor dings, about the size of an old halfpenny, on the rear of the tank. I will get round to having dent devil or some such have a look at it.

lovely looking bike mate keep it original im so tempted to do things to mine but its so tidy dont want to change it

You did a good job with the polish But it sure helps if the last owner didn't let is get wet and salty.

I have to say I do like the colour of the engine cases on the newer bikes, makes a nice change from the normal black.

As for the screen a dark tint double bubble or flip.
