GUYZED I may have spotted a problem with NO 1 mechanic it seems that his arms have have grown faster than the rest of his body {check pictures} or he may have got oil on his Tshirt and has tried a crafty swap to avoid the wrath of MUM. :evil: Superb bike resto and as normal a simple clean up ends with a full restoration keep the pic's coming.

Wow - those are some seriously clean carbs :shock: Presumably they've been vapour blasted?
