My 300 just finished, time to get it dirty now !!

That is a seriously nice job youve done there. Way way better than a average.

Were the things like the rear brake pedal painted of powder coated?

Thanks for the compliment,I found the bike on e-bay it ran ok but that was about it,I managed to find a good contact that helped out with a lot of NOS parts inc :rear hub,chain guard,side panels,exhaust plus the internet is a very valuable tool the frame and lots of small partsi had coated .The engine was in great shape(never been apart before)but i changed all the bearings and kickstart shaft for a later one (have had two snap before) the forks had to be re-chromed and a lot of hrs polishing.I done all the work myself (apart from the powder coating) I am very pleased with the finished bike .

Youll have to laquer that alloy with proper 2k stuff , it wont stay shiny for long .I regret not doing it with mine. Its on the to do list LOL.

What did you do the polishing with , dolly on a drill or autosol ?

I know the alloy takes a lot of work to keep it looking good,but i enjoy polishing !! I work in the car bodyshop trade so to put a clear coat on it would'nt be a problem.As for what i used ,i have a old electic motor with a mop on it and only use a white soup alloy polish ,but its all in the prep !! i have a DA sander backing pad in a normal electric drill and a 400 grade disc this sounds to fine but it will remove all scratches in seconds and will polish up real quick on the mop.

Your 300 is beautiful ! Very nice work !
