Looking very nice Simon. Did the wheels have an annoying seam all around the spokes? I spent a couple of hours removing said seam on the wheels of my Suzuki.
Yes very annoying, some trace still there, but not really visible now
spent a couple of hours drilling the disc’s with .3 but they look much better now

wish i had, will have to visit for the racing one year never had the pleasure.Looking lovely - I was lucky enough to see the Great Man riding the Ducati at the Isle of Man in 1980 ( not racing, but in a demonstration lap before the racing started, I have got a photo in storage which is good enough for me)
Ok not overly happy with the frame main member but hay ho, engine’s in and a few other bit done coming a long slowly fairing tank and seat 1st coat of TS47 i hate red paint!!

Looks very fiddly with all those painted parts , but looking good with the red on .
Looks good Simon. What colour did you prime with, white?
Looks OK to me.
If you want red to really pop. Prime with Yellow. Orange will lift it as well.

Fine Light grey but after reading this next time will be yellow or orange thanks ian
Thank you, it is fiddly with out a doubt, getting the engine in the frame was a bit challenging.

I have the 900 ncr but not the ss there are a few on the web but big money i’ll wait for a bargain to come up not sure what the difference is between the 2 models except the xtra £100+ price mark
Hi sunday again, where are the weeks going… any way build up date in between cutting the grass washing the cars walking the dog baby sitting oh and cutting the hedge the bottom of one side anyway waiting for a new pole cutter to do the tops …
so i managed to get the swinging arm, shocks and front end together this week and assembled today she is starting to take shape
the pipes please…. ? these should be chrome so i stripped them back cleaned them down then primed grey, primed black left over night and chrome paint over the top? All alclad to go with the chrome2 paint but i cant get the mirror finish is it me the paint or the process any help would be nice iv watched the utube videos but not much info and they seen to be doing what I'm doing.
that said they still look better than the kit ones (I think)

That looks excellent Simon. Really smart.
As to the Alclad chrome, I found it best over a gloss black base, sprayed on really sparingly. There is a sweet spot for coverage. Once you have too much paint on the shine is lost. Mind you, there is also chrome finish bare metal foil. Great for chrome trim, but I’ve not used it on something that big.

Looking great Simon. Really fine build. Surprising how flat the top of the frame appears.
