Put everything back together, did some wet sanding and polishing on the fork lowers, engine cases and brake drum case. I think it came out pretty good.

Here are the process photos, and the finished product. Silver flash glitter blast base, duplicolor metalcast candy coats. I'm happy for my first go at it. I know I can improve my process for the future.

Since my bike is basically ready to go, this is all I am going to do for the summer. Here are some pics of my first attempts at gold leafing. Wanting to get decent at it for the winter when I strip the tins down for proper paint. Been just over 12 months to get to this point, as I am such a...

Hey all, I know some of you have a bunch of CAD drawings for various parts. Just wondering if anyone has already done up a CAD drawing for a set of solid riser bushings, so I can just give it to my mate and get him to make them for me? That would be great. Cheers Ryan

81 XS650 Brat Build -- First Time Builder *Update VI Kit Installed* Hi all, I thought I would start a build thread, as I am sure I am going to need quite a bit of help from you all here, and I figured it would be easier to organise everything into one thread, and reference it from here...

Hi all, Been lurking for a while, but finally picked up my bike, and have started to strip it down to see what im working with. The bike is an '81, but has already had some chop work done (which is more a pain than not), but I got a smoking deal on it. It already has a BB ignition setup...
