who does your paint? Mine went off to paint in March with a "it will be done by Xmas". That was 2015 and it's still not back. Everytime i chase it I get "I'm just finishing the graphics and top coating". Does it really take 4 months to lacquer?

[busa ash]

my mate is painting it (so not a full paying punter price job), but has had a fall so it will be done when its done , i dropped off some extra graphics yesterday to see progress ;-)

got the call ,

painter has done the paintwork he is not wanting to have any 1980s fiberglass again anytime soon .

i am collecting without having the decals fitted  , just too keep costs down ;-)

i shall do pics when i have collected 

[busa ash]

my painter has explained how bad the old red painted fairing and bodywork  was and 80s fiberglass is a nightmare to work with.but i am more than happy 

i have got the bodywork back , its being left for a week too harden as you cant dry 80s fiberglass in ovan or any water trapped in the layers of fibre  explodes the glass 

its a colour called artic white its the brightest white thats a single stage colour , i wanted a single colour as the 80s didnt do 3 stage paint , undercoat  pear paint and top clearcoat , the decals i have will add the small amount of colour i want,

 too keep the 80s look that i want  simple .the other harris will be a touch more in out there

The paint looks like a nice job. Were any fibre glass repairs needed? Often the fairings get cut about by various previous owners. I also hope your tank is good. It is not uncommon for alloy tanks to start weeping from a seam when they have not been used for a few years. If it's been in constant use though it should be OK.

[busa ash]

dezza , the painter took all the red paint off  and flatted it back doing a few crack repairs , as for tank  its been stood for ever in a 2nd flloor flat 10 plus years and an antique shop display for 5 years so its fingers crossed

Bugger me that's shiney

It looks good with so many original parts on it from what was clearly built first with a more than basic frame kit, e.g. it has Harris yokes. It's nice to see the original rearsets in such good condition too. Do you have the Harris 4 into 1 for it?

yes i have the original harris exhaust ,two sets of original rearsetsets .

exhaust is the mild steel not chromed  as it was an option . the forks are upgrade marozochi ,with  brembo calipers

colour scheme is martini raceing so still letting paint harden

Anytime, Anyplace, Anywhere 

looking good Ash 

[Guest Manxzookie]

Well smart ash 

[busa ash]

Not much has happened as few builds on the go but at least the paint will be hard so having the decals fitted wont be as big a worry . Need to grab a chain and sprockets think 630 was the size back in the day  . Who was the guy on the old site that sourced chains etc was it richard ?
