Mornin' all. :)

Well it seems there's a new toy coming, so I've been looking at stuff, as you do.
First thing I'd like to do is loose all the plastic stuff, so I've been looking at the tank trim pieces.
There seems to be a huge price difference here.

:shock:

Although the Flea Bay ones look to be a completely different shape.
So I suppose that answers it. :roll:

Ah, right. I'll wait untill I see it first anyway.
I have an open mind at the moment, as I took a punt and bought unseen.
I'll give it a good going over service wise before I do anything.
I agree with you about adding lightness. :yup:

I really like the short seat and no pillion pegs look, but the price of that seat unit made my eyes pop out! WTF! :shock: In fact I could easily spend what I paid for the bike with that firm. If I was bonkers enough.

Nice looking bike you have BTW.

Generally I agree with the sentiment..... but in this instance the crappy plastic tank really needs hiding.... I had ASB parts on the Black Pig ..... Excellent quality http://www.americansportbike.com

This is the seat/tail unit I was talking about.

That's a lot of beer tokens!

I could probably get one made a lot cheaper than that.

Good job! :yup:

Going off topic, I notice your wheels seem to be polished?
Where they always polished or powder coated before?
The bike I've bought has black powdercoated wheels. What's the best way to remove the powder coating?
I would asume a chemical dip would be too harsh for the aluminium.
I have a good blastig Guy over here, who uses all sorts of medium, including nut shells, and soda!
