As well as powder coating arm and rear wheel ive had a new tyre the existing one was a lower profile and I didnt think it suited the bike,have picked up some decent pegs off ebay with a pair of re-chromed shrouds and other bits all for £35!,am currently stripping old paint off the head and barrels and about to remove the front wheel to get it powder coated asap!.

Found a guy locally in Poole doing soda blasting etc,so dropped off head n barrels plus a few other bits ,ie front wheel,pegs and headlamp shell for blasting,meant a trip down first thing so no lie in! , but worth it as they were done for collection this afternoon.never had it done before so dont know if his prices are competitive but the first turn round is a bonus,would post some pics but Ive trashed my camera fishing Thurs eve when a wave soaked all me gear
,should be sorted by next weekend so I wil post pics plus should have the powder coated bits back and I can get the front end back together

Make sure you thoroughly clean out the head before reassembly.
If you need any parts or advice, you could pop in and see Ray or Steve Debben at Debben Performance in Ringwood.
