Just love this paint…hope it’s durable.

It certainly looks good - it's good stuff.

Sure hope so Ted. I’ve watched your bearing conversation with interest as I’m also going to change out my main gearbox bearings, hopefully using a direct supplier rather than the more usual ‘spares’ sources.

Only issue I’m having is sourcing the unicorn ‘special’ bearing on the main shaft, which only seems to be available complete with the shaft itself!

Keep the build progress coming please.

I will post on the project board when my gearbox parts arrive - at the moment just doing some frame fittments to keep me going - they will be posted on the project thread when I have a few decent pics to post on my progress in that area. At present I'm busy topping up the money pit as I find more parts that I need. I'm at the stage now when I've got to keep going in the hope that expenditure will soon start to tail off. (I can dream can't I)

It occurred to me yesterday when I was at a friends house talking about his scooter that I could have bought myself a new Royal Alloy Scooter and be zooming around in this nice weather on one - then I told myself not to be stupid - ITS ALL ABOUT THE BUILD !

I have four bikes engines painted in that and one gets a lot of use. If done right the paint is as tough as old boots. Never had a single problem with it.
