After listening to other tales of woe on here, make sure the frame number is well masked before it's blasted and powder coated

I couldnt get the right red locally to me! I know john sampled a lot of colours to get the right red..........thatll do for me. I know they mask the frame number as well so thatll be ok!

Didnt take that long to strip..........and not a drop of fluid spilt other than the clutch slave.....fantastic these bikes aint they!

You want a real man then,.........ooh er!:lol::lol::lol:

Can we take it that from your first post to the final frame picture - 5 hours approx - you completely stripped the bike down to the frame or had you done much prep work before you started?
