They told me three weeks, and it turned up three weeks later!
That seems rare these days, especially when you live in Spain.
Anyway, the quality of the finish is very very nice. I´m very please with it.
Now I just need to get the damn bike running, so I can try it out.

Hi Maz, I didn´t realise the mod was for tubers until recently!

It´s on my jobs to do list. :yup:

I´m assuming you mean the nipple mod? :?

The + battery cable was routed over the top of the battery, and was chaffing on the frame.

I haven´t got to brakes yet. More on my jobs to do list.
I will replace the brake lines eventually, and strip and rebuild the callipers.

The bike was a total shitter when I got it, so I´m slowly working my way through it.

I need to focus on getting it to run now. :sad1:

lOl Thanks a lot. I think it´s starting to look better now, but it really was rough.
I should have a short tail arriving any day now, so she´s starting to get the look I´m after. :)

But I need to get some miles on the old war horse now, and curb the spending a bit.

The plan is to do a winter strip down, in a year or two, once I have built a workshop at home, and do the powder coating and plating etc. and a bit of engine work.
But as I mentioned earlier, brakes and a couple of little jobs next. Eventually .....
