How about a bit of cut and polish on that tank, might take some of the scratches out.

September 14, 2009 at 8:32 pm #152725You still haven’t convinced Sammy to empty that bin. :laugh: Good job Menace,I especially like the neat job you did on the electrics,or did you get someone to do that for you?
September 15, 2009 at 10:39 am #152741:laugh: thanks boys.
i was gonna finish the front end this arvo but i only got home from work (read “pub”) at 8pm :blink:
TB, i did consider painting the barrel and head…
and now every time i look at it it shits me. thanks “buddy”, now i will have to do it :laugh: :laugh:Chris, i did cut and polish the tank, well more just polish. im on the hunt for new original decals for her and will get the tank done and have them gel coated in to the paintwork…….after louee sometime.
XY, the DT doesnt have a rim lock on the front wheel. there is a hole for one in the rim but its got a rubber plug/grommet in it from the factory. sammy wont need it…..yet :laugh: :laugh:
and Mick, Sammy reckons she would empty the bin if she had more length on her chain, the one thats tied to the sink…..honest :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Looks good though Menace, it’s surprising what a bit of TLC will do huh?
Tyne and Sammy can have a drag race now :laugh:
September 16, 2009 at 2:15 am #152991Menace looking mucho betterer now, good job.
Hopefully you will have love and affection poured upon your goodself comerserate with the effort you put in.
Re the “drag” racing, I actually think it’s more likely you two being a POM and a Mexicano that you two would rather dress up in womens gear and make-up and ride really fast.
