School hols don't start until next Wednesday down here.

Spent the weekend getting the arches waxoyled to avoid the green paint with black splats look later on.

Cheeky fecker indeed! Top marks to MPFive for spotting it.

No worries,had to link it as I know I'd be annoyed if it was mine. There not even the same arches being sold so a proper cheeky git seller

Can't blame a guy for trying, I guess he was just looking for a library picture

Summer holidays started.

Spent some time Waxoyling the underside to avoid doing it with the new paint on. Painted the calipers and various other bits in Kawasaki green.







Put some Gwyn Lewis galvanised spring mounts and galvanised/powder coated spring retainers on too.



Orange (genuine Polybush) extended bump stops have been removed and will be replaced by black extended polyurethane bump stops. The orange ones are for sale.

Shocks will stay silver for now but probably end up black with green boots - very gay.

Powder coated Terrafirma springs will stay red and when funds permit, be swapped with black OME.



Red sleeved stainless brake pipes have been sleeved with split conduit (electrical sleeving stuff). Box section will be Waxoyled internally tomorrow.



Don't you just love freshly Waxoyled undersides?

Got a dashcam too.

Will build it into the grey fuzzy thing when I get chance.

Those radius arms are crying out to be painted green!

Want to get some new bushes first.

Awesome. Your getting a good finish with the green. I ruined mine trying to go satin black,going to have to sand back and start again

Fantastic thread! Following with interest

I hate the colour so much that I love it. But would never have the balls to do it myself lol.

Excellent mods, very well executed. Hats off to you. Guessing you teach a practical, rather than a purely academic subject?...

Looking forward to many more posts.
