Bit more done, Cleaned the valve and clutch covers, undercoated and sprayed with a colour match from the starter clutch cover, I think they got a very close match

Nice work, that shock looks new!
Can I ask what paint and lacquer you used on the forks?
Cheers.

Hi , it was Holts Audi Akoya silver 2 stage, the lacquer and Honda cover paint I got from Transpares in Morecambe, they did a good match on the cover paint :grin:

Hey. Awesome build, can I ask what colour you asked for on the frame and swingarm. What is the finish like in comparison to the original finish
