He also said he would welcome any bike jobs as he likes doing something that bit different from their normal work.
ie. buildings, window frames, structural panels etc. Gives a bit of variety and he can do homer's in his own time.

Sorry about the quality of the pics but the wheels have only just been put back on after bead blasting and painting. New tyres too. 8-)

Yes it and the calipers are painted with heat resistant paint left over from the hand made s/steel rear pipes, engine is also painted with it. Its a matt finish though,so its a bit different from most others I've seen but it looks ok so far imo.
The alloy caliper mounts were cleaned up and painted with hammerite smooth silver too. :)

Ah yes, I just noticed the calipers!

I think i'm going to have to paint one of my centre-caps black too. I'm thinking about maybe a gold 'nut' in the middle... not quite sure yet.

Eitherway it's looking nice :)
