Rear wheel in to see how it looks and to do wheel spacers.

Front end on, painted the forks, but not very well, and wasn't too keen on how it looked....

I had to push the bike out into the sunshine while it was here, and was impressed by the depth of the shine on the paintwork (and several coats of lacquer!) When I was taking the photos I was too busy trying to show the red coming through, then later, looking at the pics, I saw all the scenery reflected. Am pleased. Just have to learn how to polish it now!
