JMG - can I ask what tyres you are running on your 88" (at least I think it's an 88" not an 86", but it is hard to tell from the photo)? The tread pattern looks so appropriate. Thumbs Up

Picked up some parts that I had sand blasted and powder coated, got to say it was a bang on job and for sensible money.

Also finished my wheels with a couple of aerosols from Paintman. Finish is Limestone and very thrilled. Not used an aerosol since I discovered roll on....
I think they needed some tlc.

Popped over to Wadebridge yesterday for a sit in the sun at the show, lovely day out and well worth a trip for anybody down here on holiday next year at this time.
Followed up on my new bulkhead for the three, and should be here a week Wednesday.

I’m struggling to find the inner frame that goes inside the bonnet for the series three. Does anybody have any knowledge of anybody that makes this part. Failing that, if anybody has a good one laying about please shout out.
