Vinyl Pinstriping

I was going to attempt pinstriping the Flattracker tank and seat... but my striping is still shite. So I opted for the vinyl route... which had it's own challenges.

Many hours of lining the graphics... this had better be worth it...

The red was a lot easier...

Lookin good! Then the lacquer... which kinda stuffed the whole thing up.

I was was better at it when I got to the seat unit. It still needs work and a few more coats of lacquer... but that'll have to wait - out at the first round of the Grand National UK Championship tomorrow night in Oxford... I hope the finish is tough enough by then.

Power Me Up!

Been putting in the hours on the bikes to get them ready for the season. 

It's really for the SV - with her total loss system I have to make sure she'll do a 90 minute Manx Grand Prix. So I've been sorting tasty Durbahn batteries with Anderson plugs (thanks Gary at SDC for the tip) and building in jumper hookups for cranking and charging those beeatches without having to get at the battery.

But while I was about it... thought I should give the flattracker the same treatment.
