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!

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!!

I also bought some motrax grips that have red under the perforated black. more cheap 2 tone goodness! all I need now is a red/black dainese Imatra....cheap?....oh flying pigs....

Spareshack do them too, I got one

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

12-08-2004, 06:49 PM

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.
