Maybe try a local auto paint shop? There is tech nowadays that allows a matchup using a scan of the existing paint.

Welcome aboard.

Just to add, I believe you will need to use etch primer on the engine at least. Otherwise the paint will not adhere adequately?

Ay caramba! Must be all the unsoent lockdown cash sloshing around!

Smoothrite silver is the one that I've heard used on oilhead engines and front forks.

I've used their roll bags for years but I hadn't realised Lomo had gone into the pannier market. They look like good value ...

Guzzi cruisers do seem to be quite cheap compared to other models. That one looks great. enjoy.

Well, I am enjoying my new Classic 500 but frustrated by the frost and salty roads. The bike has what I wanted - proper, almost functional mudguards, a minimum of chrome and a single cylinder. Now I can hear the engine and know exactly how it is doing. I have just sold a Yamaha XJ600N 'Diversion' w...

A friend is selling his 1200R if you're interested. 2013 anniversary model. Low miles. Mint. PM me if you're interested and I'll put you in touch.

I love this forum for both its knowledge and characters :D

All I need to know is

Smoke stay in Wire Wire good

Smoke come out? Have problem !!

Likewise Jay. About my level of electrickery knowledge!

I wont be having a vaccination! Jenner started giving them in 1798 and all his patients are dead!



(Which is about the level of some of the anti vax stuff on t' web!)

There is only one possible reply!

The ST is more of a sports tourer with ride position to match but it may well be your missus' bottom that decides! I'd suggest that you plan on the run from Northumberland to Folkestone ish in two hops. That's, say 250 miles and 100. Whether you book a place to stay in Folkestone ish or go straight ...

The RS has a San Jose fork brace too.

I mentioned earlier in this post that I'd renovated my MZ and I'd post an update/video. Here it is. Enjoy Cheers GordonH https://youtu.be/0SaQslBhrMw Almost dentical to the Zed I bought for £350 brand new - ish from Ernie Page MCs in Embra. Mine had the 4 speed box and side mounted spark plug. I'm ...

Eh up!

Not that I want to defend the current UK gov but we need to remember that the ban is on NEW fossil fuel car sales. Motorists will still be able to continue driving their old vehicles until they become obsolete or too expensive to maintain / run due to additional taxation on fossil fuels. The develop...

Worth reading a bit of history to get a perspective on the anti vaccine argument. Nothing I have heard is very different from the hysteria of the 1850's. Then the fight was typhoid and smallpox. Riots took place as some claimed children who had been vaccinated took on a bovine appearance. I joke no...

If you're not making mistakes, you're not trying hard enough!

Ay up! Welcome!

No sign of slip or drag? If you've adjusted the clutch correctly and the cable length is unchanged ...

Probably best left... it didn't expect to start a political 'discussion' with my poor attempt at irony. Rob It's not politics, it's the media and the way it works these days. A tiny bunch of eejits get up a campaign to protest at something that bugs them. Years ago, they'd have been lucky to get sp...

Nope, sorry, the Express does not qualify as a "reliable source"! Nor does a screaming headline referring to "campaigners" demanding that a single charity screening of the movie be axed qualify as "the powers that be" trying to ban the film. Show me a link to proposed legislation in Parliament or an...

Just watching the man who would be king. Tribal leader asks Caine and Connery "are you God's? Caine replies " No not God's. The next best thing. Englishmen " They really don't make films like they used too. 🤣 Wouldn't be allowed these days... racist and blasphemous.. #-o Rob But a pretty accurate d...

Directed by John Huston who also directed Bogart in The Treasure of the Sierra Madre. The two movies have similar plots although the chemistry between Connery and Caine is pretty special.
