Re: My RVF Journey......
One thing I did want to ask was where do I get the blue radiator hoses from. I've seen a few on other builds and they look quite trick.

Re: My RVF Journey......
It's a bit far but theres a guy in Raleigh essex he has done quite a bit of coating and blasting for me, really nice guy and he's a biker so understands the sort of finish we expect good prices to..
Link:: http://www.powdercoatingessex.co.uk/ may be of some help???
Thought it was a Domi now that aint a bad call with only seeing 1/100th of the bike!!!
This was mine sadly had to sell when I came back to the UK
I would have another in a heart beat!!!
This was how it looked after the overland touring conversion..

Re: My RVF Journey......
Nice conversion. I wouldn't ever sell mine, I've had two and owned one for the last 16 years. Grin factor is excellent.

Re: My RVF Journey......
Due to the damage on my exhaust I've now bought another one from Al. That's soon going to be in the hands of Big Stink who's going to work his magic. With this in mind and now that I've decided to keep the original exhaust (sorry Gavin, but I am still going to order the bodywork from you early next month) I've now had to order a load of gaskets and other odds and sods from David Silver Spares. Those turned up this morning.
New mirrors as the aftermarket ones were gash and also new engine studs and bolts for the exhaust pipes as the others came out with the bolts.
Continued with the strip down and realised that my Rads were crap and looked beyond cosmetic repair. So a phone call to RO for a set of his excellent Rads is on the books once the bodywork has been paid for.
At the moment the bike is in my workshop at work but I'm going to strip the garage down and make it into a nice little workshop so I'll be able to work on it at home from the end of spring. It will be road worthy by then but I'm a tad anal when it comes to making things look like new so I want to complete strip it and really go to town on it. Well that's the plan anyway.
