Thanks Shaun =D>

Have a great Christmas

I will catch up with you in the New Year when I hit the road again.

Come on Bernie two days , no bling update. If you'r not carefull Ill have to go back to watching the telly. Where are we with the bike, more photo's please. Page 14 cumon!

Hi Steve,
I have not touched the bike due to Xmas commitments (being pleasant to uwanted guests etc and providing a full time taxi service)



I should be back in action this evening

Like the bike cover Mr B! Proper fast colours they are

Hey sounds like I've had lots of your guests too, it's that time of year when they just turn up unannounced and walk straight in... Only to then need a lift home! (well I couldn't last night because I had had a few myself ..hohoho)

It's too quiet on here .. We need some more shiny KR-Porn to wake us all up

Is that a wiring loom or Christmas Lights?

Hi Steve,
It is the loom
I am not really a Xmas person

Been playing with the loom...



Got slowed down by a few friends.....




But it still looks shiney

Shiney update.......
Just picked up a bargain off ebay

Just got a NOS rear seat cover (to go with the front one I already
have)


All I need now is to find a good upholsterer to fit them

Can anyone confirm the standard finish of the boss that fits through the front seat pad (the one the fixing bolt goes through)?

Cheers
Bernie

Had a look at my seat boss, rust is the finish I have

The nut underneath has a small bit of green finish left on it.

I am sure you will get a more useful reply soon

If the standard finish is rust & green, it looks like I don't need to do anything

Looks like a satin black with a hint of green to me..
Top the same but uniform cover like a large coated washer

Do you think it is an electroplated finish, some sort of a passivate?

Looks more like an electroplated finish to me, rather than paint.
How OEM do you want it Mr B ?

Hi Shaun,
I am looking for the same level of durability, actual colour/finish is a secondary consideration

I am on the road next week, so I intend to call in at a few platers to see what they can do.
I want to do something with the side stand bracket, as it is steel and I don't want a painted bracket. (bright zinc or hard chrome) not sure yet.
I will call in at Philpots, can anyone suggest any other good platers?
Cheers
Bernie
