1 fender corse kit cut into quarters for tank and fender
1 roll fablon for cowl and screen (and pocy cheque flag effect)
also painted dash surround and res pots with same red I used for cam shaft and valve inspection covers. oh and the wee shepherds crook thing for holding up tank.

Looking good Mr. Yerb! :cool:

Love the idea of painting the dash surround and res pots with the same paint. Is that a reflector in the "Italian Flag" colours below your number plate? If so, where do I get one from, it's just what I want!!!! :)

they are cute eh. and an mot req!! theres one lying on the road around malvern as mr araldite was not doing his job properly.....got mine from daytona for about a quid. my sister should be bringing a replacement up this weekend. If you do the pots remember to use plenty of good lacquer due to all the inevitable brake fluid around there. a doddle to do. people ask who does my powdercoating!!

Yerby, do you not deel a bit of a conflict between the stripes and the squares?

I know what u mean pd I did have cheque all over the cowl and the side panels too but when I put them back on thought "nah too much..." and removed most of them. I would say Im 75% happy. Hey its fablon so dead easy to change, what I should do and kind of gave up doing is to give the cheques a rounder 3d perhaps smaller squares to go with the sweet curve of the cowl. Its on the list and well spotted, I rate your aesthetics highly!!

Did you take the forks out to paint or just mask them? Thinking of winter projects. :confused:
