This week I needed to progress with the final big jobs, firstly the wheels were looking worse the more i looked at them, I found a local dealer (to me) in Waterlooville called Bike Shed who could remove my tyres while I waited. They are a little local motorcycle workshop run by a couple who had been there for 19 years, super nice people, very chatty, very old school in a good way, I be using them again!
Ive now removed the front disc and the front wheel bearings and dropped them round to Plasticoat Powder coaters who I have used before
I fitted the rear inner mud guard, routed the zip tied the loom, fitted the rear foot pegs and generally replaced and bolts and nuts with stainless items.
Saddle
I had previously ordered a pair of seat covers from a company in Italy called Volcano Industry I got say these are amazing, fit, finish, colour all spot on. The covers are tailored to the original shape with an elastic strap sewn on the inside with you can pull about and staple down. I actually run out of staples so the job his half finished until more turn up this week. I will post again the finished articles.
