Humdinger as per usual John mate.   :4_17_5:



How many more to go ?????  Still no Cali specials in your armoury though  8)
One build a year, the only way to get it right. No rushing involved.

Thats a beauty John, glad you got one in the end!

As a matter of fact after a second look, I think that is your finest work so far. Nice one!

Nice one lads  :daumenhoch:

Well happy with it  :)

Thought I'd answer a few Q's etc. and bang a few before and after pics up............



 chrome work looks mint


Original survivor chrome that Nath - and yeah it is in pretty good condition  :)



Well done John, how long have you been waiting for that F&F  ;)
How many lef to do now.............just the other 25 projects  :shocked:


Aye it took a while to find one Peter  :-\

You're not far out on the project count there either mate  :-[



....your getting the hang of it now  :daumenhoch:


Don't worry Glen you will too one of these days mate  :-X :2funny:


how the hell did you polish them wheels up.
How the bloody hell did you polish those Motomags so well......... :uglystupid2:

I can't take full credit for the wheels really  :( Sam had them polished originally on his supergoose, and I bought them from him and gave them a once over with the autosol and an extra buff on the rim face  ;)



 Still no Cali specials in your armoury though  8)



Watch this space  :-X ;)



Get a pic up of how it arrived mate  ;)


If you insist Joff :angel:

OK then - this is the picture the seller in the states gave me..........

I used the frame/forks, crank, BB and headset - that's it.

I put aside the bits I can use on future builds and sold the bits I didn't need.



So it got fully stripped down........

Removed the faded tatty decals (which look a lot better in the above pic than they actually were in the flesh)

Assembled all the component parts and gave everything a good clean and polish......




Then on with the decals........

And a quick sample tester of the pads on the frame..........




And finally the finished product...............

John - if you need a black Viscount Aero for the blue one, let me know. Also, what are the blue pads and the blue grips, and I'm not gonna ask about the spanking rims as they'd be no use to me as I'd ride them :LolLolLolLol:

Nice ride mate - gotta give the love to the gussett (Goose)..... :coolsmiley:

Spen

(ps - Craig, I have 2 black Viscounts so don't panic!)
Still limping......

Spence - It's all pretty much sold or accounted for on other builds now mate  :-\

Could be interested in the Black for Blue Aero swap though bud  ;)
