With :)

Trying to find an MOT station that can do her on short notice. My tank vent had oxidised closed and No3 zorst seal was blowing last night, so I got a bee in my bonnet stripped, tuned and finished her. Nothing left to do but get that tax disk and ride. I want to give her a wash and polish and then debutant pics to follow :)

Good luck with the MOT.

BruKen

Well here she is....









Still hate the red caliper paint, makes her look like Dorothy

Sweet, glad you brought up the caliper paint job  :wink:  gold like the newer Nissin stuff might be better.
I used to have long hair, took acid and went to hip joints. Now I long for hair, take antacid and need a new hip joint

BruKen

Gold? Never! (No offence to Geoff)

I'd have liked black but there was only two readily available options. Sky blue or Red unless I had some made up. I'm sure the red will eventually grow on me

BTW I take it the betted beers are on you? :D I'll be in Scotland in early - mid Sept to collect ;)

Sin_Tiger

Planning to be back in Oct, yup, on me  :cry:  :lol:

Good name for her actually, it suits her  :lol:

Red calipers look good  :thumbsup

Hey nothing wrong with gold calipers tho......

Not at all with your colour scheme no. But I dont think gold will suit her. Too much black and silver, they'd still stick out like bling if gold.

Geoff D

You've done a good job on her Bruce, glad you stuck with the gloss engine paint it looks great.

Feel a cuppa in Hawes coming up  :wink:

Well when Snow White makes her debutante coming out party, Dorothy will be there :D

Geoff D

hmm might be a while before she's back on the road  :5moped

How do you like the Tiger now you've ridden it, bet it feels pretty smooth after the thumper.

Outstanding job!
Comparing the final pics with those on page 1 - hard to believe it's the same bike.
I dips me lid!!

Thank you :)



I haven't ridden her other than up my street and back Geoff. I was unable to MOT her on Saturday. Bit of a bummer but such is life. I didn't expect to get a last minute second wind on Friday evening and finish Saturday's work too.
