So,
A lot of you know about the fooking nightmare i had with the chromers down in Portsmouth, the fleecing fookers took £380 of me and give me a shit job  :tickedoff:
The Job that had been done was shite and couln't be used as I'm having the lot Powder Coated un Candy Wine Red.
Anyway that is all in the past  ::)
Paul (DB250F) over on Rewind suggested i use his chromers up there in Yorkshire...Dave Allen Chroming.
Paul has helped me out fookin loads and i can't thank him enough  :4_17_5:, and massive thanks goes to the guys up at Dave Allen Chroming.
I'm excited bout this build again now, got the butterflies in the stomach too  ;D
Anyway, Frame isn't quite ready yet as needs another 4 hours polishing  :shocked:
Bars & Forks are below:
 Before

After



Before


And After  :smitten:




Left Hand Post is the colour going over the chrome


I post picks of the frame as soon as i get back  :daumenhoch:

Where's MarkyP ?????


He has stuff up there at the moment and as soon as he sees this he'll be whackin one off over it.  :coolsmiley: :coolsmiley:
One build a year, the only way to get it right. No rushing involved.

Really wanted some 401's but just haven't got the $$$ anymore  :-[  be a nice little bike though  :daumenhoch:

Cheers Dan  :daumenhoch:
Paul will be sending direct to you mate, however The Chromer has just gone to Las Vegas for a week before he has done my frame  :tickedoff: So I've got to wait another 10 days for that ;D
Still it's gonna be worth waiting for. 8)
Dan I've had some thoughts on this, just gonna do the Frame & Forks I think, leave the bars naked i think :daumenhoch:
