Well, spent the last few days doing my my best to get all the engine cases cleaned and repainted in a colour and finish I'm happy with. I can get a mint finnish in Matt but semi gloss black is proving difficult. So I've grudgingly decided that I'll make do with how it looks for now, and once I get the spare bike up here I'll completely strip the cases for soda blasting and new HPC or similar. Then a ground up rebuild of the fresh cases.
Anyway, now the motor is fitted the engine covers actually dont look too bad and will be OK untill the new motor's ready.
On to the pipes and cooling system next.
