Definitely an interesting product. I take it that once it's buffed it can be painted over since you continued onto the pipes?

It is, I think I'll be trying the others, too!

I don't think you can paint or mask is once it's on, the pipes were already painted, so I don't need to go back over it.

Since it'll be repainted, I'll give masking and painting a go when I repaint the exhaust and I'll let you know! :)

I've put this on hold for a little while as I'm taking part in the Rising Sun group build on the Facebook page, so needed to start something else, I did, however, get a little further. I got the front end built up and the handlebars.

I cut the original clip ons out and replaced them with some stainless steel rods. I just need to make some bar ends and it should be good! I added some small bits of styrene to make the buttons on the controls. I also cut the triple clamps and added some prime miniatures bolts fot the fork clamps.

Thanks for looking in! :D

Nice one mate! It's still in the box atm, I'm doing a relatively out of the box build next, so I may crack on with this at the same time!
