A lovely job, that looks absolutely superb. I bought one five weeks ago and am doing it up a bit, but nothing compared to what you have done. Wish your bike had been for sale at the time! Where did you get the paint job done? The hugger looks great, I might buy one.

[@davejones2394]

I did the paint job myself, I've done a few over the past 10 years. The hugger was on it when I got it, I don't know what make it is.

Bike looks amazing, I’m interested in restoring one myself, can you tell me how you got the engine looking so good?

[@davejones2394]

Thanks Glyn. While the engine was out, I pressure washed it, then wire brushed it mechanically and by hand, then rubbed it down with Emery cloth and sandpaper. Degreased it, and then painted it with Simoniz tough gloss black (3 coats at least). The head covers were the same, lightly wire brushed (in drill), then rubbed down with various grades of wet and dry, finishing off with rubbing down compound and then Metal polish.
