Just back from skiing. They're still on the dining room floor next to the exhaust system, fairings and KTM.

Very nice!!! 8) 8)

Were these sprayed or powder-coated? How did you go about the front wheel bearings/masking etc??

Sprayed two-pack. Wheels are gloss and the rocker covers are matt. The bearings and disc threads were just masked as no heat required.

He also sprayed my pink tax disk and the pilion footpeg hangers. Will get the fork lowers and mid yoke done black at some point.

I think it's a prety good job - he is a sprayer for a garage restoring Triumph TR2, 3, 4, 5, 6 cars and he used to spray Ducatis.

Only problem is that they've been in dining room for two weeks and are filthy allready.

Gus, 'sick' may well be teen-speak for very good.
But it is adult speak for Vomit.
Lets say no more about it. :wink:

Staying on the bright side.
