Thats awesome!!

I've always wanted to re-spray a bike but have decided to start with my old S4 lid. I may be coming to you for pointers.

Bloody good job and great vid :smt038

am well impressed

so impressed I will not call it yellow

I did consider calling it scorched but that is too close to yellow, so if al agree then we shall refer to it as Paddy's Piss Falco















































awesome work - most impressive


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

The music is the end credit of Battlestar Galactica and the cut and polish is with 2000 wet'n'dry then some G3 and then some wax

Very nice work!
It's the V-twin thing. There's just something about it that inline-4s don't have at all, and V-4s don't have enough of.
