Well done! What brand of paint did you use on the exhausts?

The exhaust was painted with VHT flat black and then VHT matte clear. I am not very happy with it as the clear seems to be soft. I have only ridden about 100 miles and it is already nicked up from gravel. It looked good when first painted.

Agreed the paint looks good - just wish I/we could find a paint that looks good and is resilent apart from powder coat.

Very nicely done.
Was curious as to the UK market 'breakaway' Mirror stems though.

Yea, I know. I have a decent stock right mirror, but I couldn't find a left mirror for anywhere close to a reasonable price, so I just bought new aftermarkets for it.

I also have some paint to fix on the bottom of the tank. I had a pinhole that I discovered after paint and it caused about a 1 inch patch of paint to bubble up. I then treated the tank with Kreme to fix that and got some on the other side of the tank in about the same place. If I can't repair it where it can't be seen, I will strip the paint on the tank and do it again.

Lovely! You need to bring that beauty to the 2 Stroke Meet at Deals Gap in early April 2018.

I might do that, hopefully I can get away from work long enough. I looked on the website and did not see a date set yet.
