Cheers Tim.

Only bought the reproduction back mudguard as the one on mine was completely rotten. To be fair it was only £75 from M&P and they have given me £30 back for the inconvenience. So its only stood me at £45 and may be of use to somebody at that price.

Got a good (surface rust only) genuine replacement off eBay for £25 and that's now at the chromers. Should have done that in the first place.

Jobs stopped now for a couple of weeks as its IOM Classic TT time again. Hopefully the painting and chroming will be ready when I get back.

Been a while since the last update.

Just collected my paintwork from Thornton Paints. Am really pleased with it. Not sure if it's actual Candy or a mimic with metallic paint ( forgot to ask him), but either way its a spot on match with the scrap part I gave him.

He has done the tank, 2 side panels, 2 fork shrouds, 2 headlamp ears for £380 plus the cost of the decals. The whole lot was stripped back to bare metal to ensure the correct quality.

Here's a few pictures. Not the best as its twilight and they don't really do justice to the depth and finish of the paint.


This is the mess I sent to him :(
