    I used Simoniz satin matt from Eurocarparts. It turned out quite good. I might find it will come off after the first race though!

    I hope you fare better than me Colin. After entrusting my motor to a local powder coaters, who assured me it was ok for engines ..... I found they were wrong ! I should have sent it to Rod Spry and had it done right. He did my old KLX motor a few years ago, that gets hot, but it still looks good as new.

    At least you can touch yours up cheaply. Stunning looking bike by the way.

    Drew, I got the lever from Andy at HVA and he helped out with a couple of other parts as well.

    Thanks Grouty. It looks good now but we'll see how it looks after the first race in a couple of weeks. It was made for riding so it's bound to have a few battle scars in a couple of months!

    A couple of friends ride CCM's up here in the Scottish Classics I think you might know and I work with Jim Allison.
