While bikes stripped, just ordered an Ivan MB kit from the main man himself £126.00, hope I don't get stung for any import taxes, shows on HMRC site, as long as it's under £135 I should be ok, fingers crossed, it's pricey enough at £126 ...
Fazer 1000's in desperate need of an engine refurb
2003 silver motor with flaking paint ... Oh what joy "NOT".
Stripped everything off, wire brushed the shite paint Yamaha sought fit to use, a good scrub down with a red scotchbrite.
Just on with masking up.
I was gunna use VHT engine paint, but it's all Mat stuff & heard a few horror stories it's not all it claims to be.
I've used aerosol Smooth Silver Hammerite before on engine casings with success, gorra be better than the crap Yamaha used on silver motors.
Anyone painted a full motor in Smooth Silver Hammerite, if so, how did it cope with engine heat cycles?
Have a good day boys, get out on ya bike while suns out if poss...
