Hi all! Cheers for the replies.
Popped down to Wilkinsons yesterday and picked up some gloss black paint to put on woodburners. I put it on the engine and it looks great this morning! Chuffed to bits with that.
When I said an 'old fzs600' what I should've said was "the previous owner didn't look after her very well".
Regarding the breather hose ports on the tank, sounds like I should get some hose on there asap!
Cheers for all of the help guys. When I finish repainting the tank/plastics I'll get some pics up.
