There's nothing as nice as seeing a fresh batch of sparkling newly zin'd bits is there.

I'm going to have to start looking at the UK bike and seeing what needs doing as far as blasting and zincing done. I have another RVF linkage that needs doing sat here in front of me at work actually as well as my UK carbs.

Rear end all done, just need to torque up the sprocket hub nut.

Ive used a R&G shock cover, there's no way to clean the shock up without taking it apart for powder-coat and zinc. Cheating I know :?

Very small update

Got a pair of fairing side mounts from Paul.
Blasted them, bit of vice time to straighten them up, a coat of zinc and then bolted up.
