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.

Nice to see it on the bike but the top of my head hurts now
I've got to say the rest of the bike looks stunning Pete. Cracking job.

Thanks Kev, it’s certainly been a steep learning curve.canaletto5 wrote: ↑Fri Mar 25, 2022 10:14 pm Nice to see it on the bike but the top of my head hurts now

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.

Re: Feeling painty
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.
