Painting the engine some love it some hate it but I fuckin love it.




Here are some more pics now it has had time to cure, as you can see the shine has turned to a sheen and will dull a bit more once the engine has been started.
I have since taking these pics given some areas another coat as there was a few areas where the wrinkle didnt happen to well.
The starter motor cover is going to be replaced with a nice new shiny one.
When the stainless engine casing allen bolts are fitted it will look sweet.
The paint will be removed from the four chrome bolts that cover the ends of the cams spindles and there will be stainless cams cover allen bolts fitted, just waiting for the bolts to turn up.

Clear coated the front muddy today. The rest of the day was spent tearing around on my 1216.
Still waiting for the stainless engine cover allen bolt set to arrive
Cant get a set of stainless allen bolts for the cam cover any where but I did find out while in the garage that gsxr/bandit oil cooled models the cam bolts are the same so I have oredred some off of ebay for a gsxr/bandit

Not been in for a while due to my rottweiler dog and forum name sake alfiestorm not being well after being diagnosed with cancer, any how thanks to the specialist vet and animal hospital he is making a full recovery oh and thank fuck for pet health insurance too co's the bill was 8K GBP.

Anyway back to the bike.

Done a bit of reflective lettering on the seat trim its black in normal light but will reflect back in what ever colour light is shined at it.



Done a fair bit to the zorst as well.
The cans I had made my megawatt have turned out fuckin awesome and just what I wanted, still need to do a bit of work to the headers




then the test fit with two

and ran into a few probs with some of the running gear, not enough clearance for the brake pedal to oprate properly and the gear lever plus a bit of a drive chain touching the link pipe going on too. It appears I made an error when checking the clearances needed with the link pipes

bit of a shame though as all i would have had to do is get some collars made for the link pipes to join the collectors


Anyway we have a solution to the problem which has turned out even better for the cans as they will now sit at a bit more of an angle and tucked in a bit better




It does however mean that there will be a need for longer collars are made and welded in for it all to be bolted up.



I do wish my gas mig welder had not gone tits up or I would be doing the collars myself.
