Always loved this thing and the new upgrades have taken it to another level. A build to be proud of Aaron 👊🏻

New mods are looking great. How're you finding the ceramic coating on the polished bits? I've loads of polished bits on mine, I was told to use ACF50 but it makes them quite dull.

The switch gear look class.

Thank you, took me ages to decide. I think it helps modernise it but still keeps it older style wise.

Thank you 🤗 just wish I could have got to this stage sooner without spending money on other bits but sure all in the fun.

absolutely OUTSTANDING !!!!! love it

Thanks Mark 👍🏼

Thanks Simon, tbh I looked at ACF50 but it gets very dirty looking after a while so decided against it. This is hardly ever out and only will be on a dry road so I got some Gyeon Can Coat from @Woodcutter at Paints and Components and it's holding up really well.

We sell Dinitrol Corroheat for that reason. Great stuff for coating exposed metal to keep it looking original.

Great upgrades.

This thing was looking perfect at the NW200, don't think I'd change anything on it.
