Good goin' Pete.
Who did your powdercoating? You're just round the corner to me (literally) and I'm intrigued as to where you found to do it locally.
Nice lookin' spray job on the engine - it took me a while to work out how you managed to get such a good finish. I've used cans in the past, and they don't give anywhere near as good finish as you've ended up with. What mix did you use with the POR in the gun?
Keep going, chap. Looks like it'll be quite a sight when it's done.
Regards
Neil

About to change the tyres on my own F2 and like the look of the Roadriders that you have gone for. Could I ask what sizes you have fitted?

Hi the front is 100 /90/ 18 and the back is 11 /90 /18, the tyres look real nice although i have yet to ride them as the bike is not finished yet

Hi Neil , The place i got the powder coating done was in crayford , i would not recommend them as they do mostly commercial jobs such as gates and railings, the finish is really nice but they coated over a real rough patch of grit that they left on the frame ,and also managed to scuff the bottom rails where it was moved around on a concrete floor, oh year they also lost my brake light bracket that was amongst the small items that belong to the frame,
next time i have a frame done i might spend a little more and get a bike specific powder coating firm.
The engine paint POR 15 is quite hard to use i mixed it up with 10% por 15 thinners, if you are going to use it , be sure to only use it on bare freshly blasted metal, and do not recoat until next day, it does not stick to painted surfaces very well, it is a urethane paint and does not behave like 2k or cellulose paint, so it is worth doing a few test pieces first.
Do you also live in Sidcup ?

It's coming along nicely Peter. I must admit to getting out on the bikes now that the good weather is here...i'm glad that I have a choice...
But the 125 is coming along nicely & wouldn't it be good if your 750F2 & my 125T2 were ready at the same time...
