what did you do with your fazer today ?

[Dead Eye]

Finally gave up trying to polish my old Beowulf can and opted to spray it... and then everything from this thought onwards went badly... dropped the can (whilst it was wet) twice - should have learnt the first time

In the end I got the job done but the finish certainly isn't perfect. Thankfully the majority of imperfections are on the side of the can you can't see

I'm not totally happy with how it looks, BUT it does sound better - mostly noticeable at low speed / revs

I'll probably rip it off in a few months once the finish gets on my nerves enough and spray it over with a matte paint (this was gloss apparently, which I didn't realise until I'd started) and apply some lacquer

Many little nicks, cuts and scrapes today and a few muscle aches, but the job is done and the bike is ready for its jaunt around Middle Earth tomorrow
