        I see your problem - it's a blue one and everyone know red ones are better.....

        She looks nice and tidy. What are you going to do for mirrors? In case you're not aware a set of standard ones for the fairing will set you back a very large sum -if you can find them.

        Edit: that tank sure is nasty inside.

            Yeah here we go red white blue white lol. Im not bothered- ive come off all colours of bike thanks for the compliment. It will look much better when I start and finish it. Im not looking for a show and shine finish though just want it to look like a real clean standard bike. Yeah been doing a lot of thought about mirrors. Really don't want handlebar mirrors or bar ends. I have been searching the last few night for the original fairing ones to no avail. Il keep looking though as that's the look I want. I have seen after market it ones but they just aren't quite right. Ive got enough to go on with for the min though. Tank clean out, carb strip, clutch check, valve shim check, carb balance, fork seals, new speedo cable etc etc

              Yeah I agree on the tank. Was gonna look into doing it myself with a load of nuts on a bit of string but think it needs doing properly. One company will charge £150 for a complete clean then a re seal. Would save a lot of hassle but a lot of money.

                Nice - I'm surprised we let you get that one back across the bridge!

                  If you think that is a lot of money you'll drop a turd when you finally see some stock mirrors up for sale.

                    What did that last LH one on ebay make? Around £400 wasn't it?

                      Paying $400 for a pair of mirrors is one thing but £150 for a tank clean is another Id be admiring those mirrors everytime I walked up to the bike so well worth the money The only time id look in the tank is to stick the nozzle in

                        It wasn't for the pair - just the one!

                              I'll have to keep a look out at auto jumbles then? You haven't scared me off yet. I'll sell one or both of the other bikes if I have to :-)
