Ceramic coating
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
I do like the final accidental outcome but then I'm biased - I was worried they were a bit too bling but what the heck it has a bright blue frame as well.

Using a cb1300 one Phil, will be taking it off the 1300 shortly and replacing it with a radial mc to match the Brembo calipers which go on at the same time. The brake mc matches the clutch mc that was ceramic coated a few weeks ago.
Not sure yet which brake switch I’ll use but probably the original as I’ve already bought the braided lines.
Oddjob:
Just picked up some more bits for the 500 and a few bits for my 1300.
I'll just show the 500 bits though. All the bits.
Rear number plate bracket, turned out rather well considering how it looked beforehand, not even sure I'll use this in the build as I have a chrome one as well I might fit instead. Gloss black
Top yoke and speedo/tacho plate, satin black. The top yoke was the only piece that needed redoing as it gassed off the first time and ruined the finish.
Seat lock bracket, had it redone after having to alter it a little to fit the seat lock better, another seat hinge bar, got 3 of these now. 1 will be for sale soon. Gloss black
A NOS CB550 L/H riders footrest that I bought, the paintwork was untidy even being new so I had it redone. Should look better. Might use this, might not. My old ones are not done yet, need a spot weld done on them to make the pegs sit perfectly flat. Gloss black
Set of CB500K exhaust hanger brackets, there's a before pic on my restoration thread showing just how bad these were. Gloss black
CB550F electrical bracket, satin black
That's it, turned out really well, very pleased, the satin is shinier than the normal place I have them done but it will do. 2 pieces not shown in close up was the starter motor body, it's the cylindrical tube top right. I had asked them to coat the inside of it as well but they gave it back like that. Should be ok though. The other piece was the bottom yoke, forgot to photo it
Laverdaroo:
Well they look like a proper result mate, great finish on the lit. I bet your chuffed, they look great
I vote curry at yours looking at that herb collection, bloody hell!
Surprised the labels are not facing forward though

Nice looking parts.
Seeing the spice rack reminded me of this sketch.
