That is pretty decent looking for a rattle can job Ken, interested to see how it stands up on the street.

It should hold up well enough. I used a high heat engine enamel (not ultra high heat) and as I have a compressor these were not done with a rattle can (it's not the spray job that sucks but the eroded subject. I thought it prudent to remove the corrosion but not over polish it down to a smooth base at the expense of wall thickness and strength). What you see is only the first coat, I will put at least one more on. If I don't get at least 3 years before it blemishes I will be disappointed.

Looks really good, read the whole thread! Black is a good colour too!

Nice Job!

+1!  that looks fantastic Ken.  I've said before that I think the Steamer looks far more purposeful than the Girly.  Might have to look round for a cheap one as a project...


Like I need another project  :roll:

Thanks guys. With the onset of the cold snap I have missed her a bit and when the opportunity to go out for a quick blast it rekindled the love affair. She may have issues laden as a long haul tourer with weave as discussed, but as a weekend sports tourer she is fantastic. Nimble, quick and extremely comfortable. I did her as a project because she was available, but I can see why she has such a loyal fan base.
