Um..

So, where are we, bike got the point where it was ready for tear down, took it all apart and was ready to send to chrome when I found that the half SS and half mild steel wouldn't chrome well due to the heat on the SS being kinda flakey, sooo, chopped them up, bought some mild and went to Rexs and we remade the exhausts, just waiting for them to be welded then they can be sent off to Chrome Masters along with everything else to be made beautiful. Once you start with chroming/ polishing stuff then you cant stop - its like an addiction - cant wait to see the final product - about 3 weeks to go.
Also finished off the frame spent last weekend with a file and a Dremel type tool and took out 90% of the highspots to hopefully save me some money of the prep time before paint. Have design from painter, not 100% sure but will probably go for it; as have done with the seat which has been sent to Roberti Customs for some basic leather work, nowt flash, that the job of the chrome and paint. April release - it'll be tight.
Also cant make up mind on getting tortoise shell spokes - i'm 60/40 on it yet..
