Just before we fit the decals I chucked a bit of petrol in the tank to see if she'd run.....

Sorry about the shit video quality I was rushing 'cos I only had a drop of petrol & was
expecting it to run out any moment....

Very nice Geoff, definately rated as one of your best as per Karl. Just like the the black/silver and white colour scheme and hopefully your expert placement of the decals will devide the large volume of white just perfectly. Good luck with that and Well done! :drool:

Geoff..........you rock my friend :shades:
PLEASE don´t put those sidecovers......it will kill the look of it.
I am thinking of doing a worldwide poll :wave:
As you choose blue on the decals that at one time funny looking seat cover looks ok now.I would be happier with black instead of blue,but its ok. :sherlock:

Another fan of the naked 3AJ :wave:

In that configuration, even the Captain America seat looks acceptable smile:

I also think it looks bloody marvelous without the side panels.

I restored mine 12 years ago, if I ever restore it again [very unlikey] I would delug the frame first then have it powder coated :drool:

Got to put them on Karl, it'll look a bit daft on the other side with all the wiring, relays, etc out in the weather....
