Blasting complete

A few days ago I picked up all the parts that Nick at Blast Power Services,(BPS), had sand/bead blasted and what a grand job he has done too. He had to dip the wheel rims to get all the coats of paint off and Im sure they weigh at least 3 kilos lighter than they did!! Anyway all the components were then taken to Richard Burns at Thetford Finishing Limted (TFL) who will be wet spraying the fuel tank with the same colour yellow as my previous bike. The frame, swing arm, wheels, seat sub frame, oil tank and breather tank will all be powder coated satin black, which I think will look the dogs swingers, but I am being biased!! I will be helping Richard in any way I can to keep the cost down and will be taking some photos of the powder coating process to post on here asap.
