if there was an award for the project on here you'd get it awesome. How did you do the paint?

Thanks! Paint? With a spray gun 
Seriously...I use 2k paint as i have the equipment to use it safely, painted it all black first flatted it of then masked off the parts that will stay
black inc the 6mm line round the tank then painted the silver base coat.
For the chequered pattern the masking was cut from masking vinyl then sprayed with pearl silver then lacquered to finish

Thanks, No not yet hopefully next weekend im still looking for a nice billet brake fluid reservoir so don't have a front brake yet.
Still not sure about the ace card logo and Honda on the headlamp but will leave it for now.

About time i updated this passed Mot but had loads of issues in trying to get it to run right on the pod filters after weeks of trying to get it
right finally gave up and ordered a spanking new set of VM32 Mikuni's and some nice shiny billet velocity stacks from the USA.
They arrived a few weeks ago so in-between the rain im finally getting somewhere, not got them set up spot on yet but good enough for me to finally
get out on it Its not fast but my god its fun to get back on a bike after all these years
A couple of pictures from today

Now it looks like a proper bike.
You must be well chuffed with yourself.
You should be.
Tell them about the bent treacle edges!

The bike looks amazing, would never have thought you could have made such a thing of beauty as this from what it was, great work mate.
BTW, tagging your offspring in her pj's on fb in that vid is priceless, good on you, lol.
Rotary build coming soon...
