FFS! The bars arrived this morning but they have been cut by just over 1/2" each side which will never do. Back to the drawing board....... ::)

Get a bar extension kit Damo... I'll post a link later if you need one mate.  :daumenhoch:




Thanks Nick, I hadn't thought of that but I will hang out for the right bars...not like they are super rare  :daumenhoch:

This thread is what RAD is all about for me. 

Coming to it late means I haven't had to wait for the next episode - I could binge in one hit.

Love you attention to detail and patience to get things right.

Kudos to you sir!

This build is going to be sweet, love it all so far  :coolsmiley:

Hey I know where there's a pair of those bars, Deeman, appear to be uncut and are stamped Anlun 4130 below the grip area - the right ones?

Brian  :daumenhoch:

Good to hear from you Brian, glad you are enjoying the thread  :daumenhoch:
They sound like the right bars to me, where can I find them?! I really need to sort a pair now!

STOKED! I already had a generic layback post for this build which I was going to put a Space decal on but I actually managed to score a genuine Space post . A big thanks to dennyking for parting with it. In the pic is the generic post on the right and the Space post on the left. The Space post needs a rechrome so is going off to my mate asap. In the meantime I am going to chop the one I have to the same length as the Space one......

I got the seat finished after days and days of sanding and polishing on and off. I decided to buy some proper plastic polish for this task rather than the normal method of T cut which I use. Did it work? well...yes but after a fook load of work. Was it better than T cut? again a bit hard to tell as this type of plastic is hard to polish and they both need some elbow grease. the polish is made by Novus in case anyone is interested and comes in a 3 stage kit. A MASSIVE thanks goes out to Retrodan72 for sorting me out the guts for this  :4_17_5: :radbmxsmilie:. The results....

I was going to use some turquoise A'me Tri on this build but then found some Unitrons in the same colour which are ideal as these are what Ron was running on the bike....I just didn't like the grey/black ones he had on there.The ends needed tidying up a bit but came out great....
