Yep there are some things on my bike which are better, but also there are things better than mine on his one, they do seem to comand a good price, i wonder if he will get that much? i have noticed he sells quite a few on ebay all classified adds.
I bought a tank for mine the other day my intentions are to get it all prepared then have a go at spraying it myself if i get it right then  i can just swap over , i was also thinking of buying some side pannels the ones from L-P-M and slowly build up a complete bodwork set all sprayed up and ready to fit incase i ever want to,
BTW how is your bike coming on?

Yes LPM are good - I was going to get him to do some commercial work mouldings for me but he was to busy so I got a place in Rotherham to do it, last year . The guy who runs it is Ex-Rover cars. Make sure you remove any traces or release agent though before painting  because my K0 airbox has bubbled badly and will need a repaint.

My bike is not progressing at all really as I need a new conrod. I do have one from a later bike but I may hang out for a complete matched set and I have grown to mistrust parts from Ebay UK. Weather is too cold at the mo' anyway.

Sounds like you are busy though!! Has the wife forgiven you yet?

Cheers

I have learnt when painting that type of plastic the best way is too de-grease and key it up with 400 paper then use a plastic primer and then a primer filler to get the scratches out then paint.
 Yes ebay is full of people who do dodgy photos and claim parts are mint when really they are sometimes as good as useless, its almost like a luck dip,
The wife has come to terms with the fact i have another bike, the count is now at 15 bikes, i had to sell some stuff to recoup the money so that will keep her happy.
The weather this weekend was great for working on bikes, if you take a look at my rebuild thread you can see i was quite busy.

Seamus:
For interest, I went to see a bike that was being sold by Freddy (Will) and it was not quite what I expected. It was good, but not what I wanted. He has a couple of beautiful 750's in his hallway. Gold K0 and K2 as I remember. He has a really big old place in Worcestershire and really knows his CB's. Not sure if I could recommend him as I have not bought a bike from him. I suggest that anyone thinking of getting one should have a look first, even if it is just to see his own bikes

UK Pete:
I got some good news today, the DVLA has issued my registration and sent it with my docs and tax disk back to me, so i got straight on the internet and ordered up a nice pressed aluminium black and silver plate for it, with a bit of luck i should be on the road by thursday,
I can wait, its only been a few weeks but seems like a life time, i am like a kid with a new toy.
