That wrapping looks superb and the engine assembly looks perfect. Just the right amount of weathering and scuffing.

That's looking very good, I always liked the look of heat wrapped pipes, I have a roll in the shed with which I was going to wrap the pipes on my Z650, (before I decided to sell it), still, it'll sit there until the Z sells and I get another naked bike.

Some very good scratchbuilding of parts there.

Gents thanks so much for the compliments! Tried some canopy glue over the instrument panels for the lenses turned out okay I think.

its clearing up

almost there

finally clear again!

first color is on the body work thia will be follwed by Black and the white,I know its supposed to be light to dark but because of the paint scheme masking will be quicker this route

What happened, was it a paint reaction? Looks like you got it back to a good base though.

Just goes to show what can happen when we least expect it. Great recovery though, you'd never know that there had been such a disaster!

[Guest]

Hi that's a great recovery mate going to be a fantastic bike when finnished well done

[Guest]

Thanks Ian yep a very bad reaction that was totally my fault. I tried lacquer over enamel bad idea, I know better just did'nt think before I sprayed.Thanks Richard and Mark appreciate the compliments. I've been working so much with these storms we've been having my building has slowed to a crawl. I did get the body work painted and decaled ,pleased with it considering I almost binned it in frustration over the paint reaction.
