That mudguards quote sounds cheap. The chainguard is more or less what Collins charges.

Great that the RS stuff turned out OK. He came on here upset about comments someone made, a few months ago,a bit like Neil did this week. Shame he has not come back and joined us as a contributing member (as Neil has), as it would be nice to have a plater company come on here, enjoy our business and form a good relationship at the same time plus a bit of the old Bitsa/Trig banter :D. The guy who did my 750K0 painting a few years back, Andrew Parnaby, has it about right, he's passionate about what he does, an avid biker and on the occasion I have been to see him, he always has a gaggle of bikers round there chatting and having a cuppa with him.. surprised he ever has time to get on with the job. He's such a nice guy that I can't imagine anyone falling out with him or not resolving any problems amicably. As I have said before though, there is difference between a hobbyist and someone doing it to earn a crust. Many of the 'trades' are so steeped in EU legislation (plating/refinishing) that is must be such an (expensive) nightmare running that sort of business, You are bound to get the occasional genuine ar**hole for whom nothing is good enough and gets you down. Plus, in my book everyone is human and can make a mistake. It's how he corrects it and deals with people that makes the difference. Hope the RS guy sees this to assure him we are set of the 'good' guys on this forum really!
Cheers ...Ash

I got my bits back from R&S yesterday. These are the replacement rear brake arm that went missing the first time round and the handlebar and main stand lift handle he was doing free. They had them over a couple of months but have done an excellent job. They are perfect and I am very happy :). I would definitely use them again but probably best to agree a time scale as the do seem to have a lot of work on.

I wasn't going to join this forum but SteveD CB500F convinced me top give it a go so here I am.
As some of you are aware there have been various discussions some good and some not so good and with some help and diplomacy all issues have now been resolved. I can see that the forum is a good place for help and advice and would welcome any questions or even better the chance to quote for any chroming that you require ( I will donate as I'm promoting my business ). The one issue of a missing part was in all fairness the fault of the Royal Mail and we have since revamped our booking in system and policies for the insurance of goods whilst in transit and been made clearer and easier.We handle over 15 parcels a day involving various carriers and touch wood no problems have occurred also some clients arrange to have their own carrier collect from us.. Hope we can all be friends and start again with a clean slate.
