It's the MC's that get me confused.

I had a both a Tri-arm and Gull-arm and I’m sure the latter was NC29 and not NC26

I think you're right. The NC26 was the 'Steed'.

A fork leg, painted with new seals and new mudguard mounts.......why only one ?.....the other fell over after painting so I've stripped it again lol

i doubt you will though

This isn’t getting sold, it’ll sit in the garage looking cool and get wheeled out for a few classic Trackdays

It'll be gone by October

Not worth much as an unfinished project, I'll give you £250.

Forks finished being fitted later so that’ll be front end done. Rear subframe back so rear end can be built too.

Chinese bodywork ready and had an email today to approve the paint…..they sent pics can anyone see the problem

But they are changing it and I’ve asked for the 2 panels that are wrong as well as part of me likes them

Halfords grey primer and silver paint. Had them properly blasted and degreased first. 3 coats primer sanding in between then 4 coats of silver sanding between coats.

Finally got forks back together tonight and in the bike with the wheel as well, rear end tomorrow with the newly powder coated subframe

Looks immaculate.

Some bits are some are just very clean, it’s gonna be a useable bike I’m not too precious about

Good news, the chinese folk are sending both the incorrect and correct fairing lowers

So now back on the wheels got a big cleaning task ahead before the exhaust, radiators and bodywork are fitted. I'll only fit them when it's as clean as it can be

Is this why your wife and daughter have gone on holiday without you?
