😂 It’s right way up in preview and wrong when I open the attachment. Hope to always ride in preview mode 🥳
Shiny side up hurts less and a whole lot cheaper.

Thanks Kev, it’s certainly been a steep learning curve.
Happy so far with my first attempt at a reasonable restoration.
Spent 3X what I budgeted but happy I did and it’s consumed the first 6 months of my retirement. Couldn’t have done it without the knowledge and resources available on here and the Suzy2 forum.
Just need the pipes back and I can try and start the bugger. Should have them in the next cpl of weeks.

I painted the tank when I restored the kettle back in 2016. It was an OK job but I've learned a bit since then

Whilst the bike is off the road, I took the opportunity to line the tank and re-do the paintwork

Hopefully, back on the bike tomorrow after fitting all the bits and pieces.
