Thanks for that! How is the angle of your clocks in sunlight?
True, I just thought that the first time anyone stood on them, and as soon as you ride the bike the paint on the pegs and kicks etc will just get rubbed off, hence powdercoating. I bought a cheap swingarm off ebay, ended up not so cheap when I had to replace the bearings after the powdercoater didn't tape over them, but hey ho. About £70 all in. Swapped out across a few hours.
You don't meant the cylinder heads, you mean the valve covers (the silver bits on top of the engine), which either don't need a new gasket (not the one in your ebay collection) as it's rubber (I think), or if it does, it'll be dirt cheap.
Looking at your ebay lists: those bobbins will be terrible - the first drop and they'll bend your engine mount bolts. And probably themselves. I have a TomTom Start - it's brilliant. If you want good quality, reputable exhaust wrap, look on the Driftworks shop: http://www.driftworks.com/exhaust-heat-wrap.html
As for the radiator cover - buy a 2nd hand one and spray it. That's the cheapest and best option, and you'll probably get something stainless that way, for less money.
