Awesome, overtime required with the Solvol to bring that up to mirror finish : :D
It's probably the angle you have took the photos from, but what is the ground clearance at the lowest point on that bottom pot?

Cheers Jan :)

Gary when I am next passing do you want me to pop in with my Solvol, I am running out of things to polish (I only have my spare calipers to finish) #-o
After that I am going to have to get myself a new project :shock:

Cheers

thats a bike alex in italy is building for a customer
he did what he was paid to do then handed it back to he owner he had to fit he engine and make some exhausts and fit a wider rear wheel ,thats why it stopped months ago ,the owner doesnt want to posta about it
ive been in contact with him for nearly a year
another was built as a race bike in 2006 i think by someone else
and ive been in contact with a lad who did a lot of work on that one ,it has jolly moto pipes on that one

I am afraid that you have on the right side too little cornering clearance ...

the pipe will not touch the floor
it is going to be another 2 inch higher at the front and 30mm at the back
once its sorted , tyre on the front is just to stop rinm scratching its not blown up or wide enough
so once its coated and it gets a new tyre it will be a good bit higher ,and rear is getting 30mm jackup
ive lent bike well over and its almost got bar on the floor before pipe is ,
camera must be making it look worse than it is
