Goodness knows how many hours the forums`most amateurish-mechanic has spent in the shed this past year; it is with some degree of relief that at last Mr K is once again back on the road. Notable thanks goes to Ajays recommendation re the hammerite aluminium treatment,and to the video of how to replace the rear output shaft seal ,amongst many other clues and tips for which many of you are very responsible and have proven so, oh yes, so much useful. There we are, thanks a lot.

She's a beauty! Here's to some fine Springtime weather so you don't have to ride in England's green and pleasant land under rain. Cheers. At last!    ....(know the feeling?) 2854237993

Jonny,

The bike looks like new.
It's almost looks like a picture touched with Photoshop.
Nah... Just joking.
Great job.

Bert

Thanks Bert,
I must admit that I first became seriously disinterested in photoshop about 10 minutes after opening it in 1998 for the first time, as even then it was far too complicated for the likes of me to use ! So i am delighted to say for the purposes of the above pic I relied upon not only the sun but a little fill-in flash on my 1993 olympus is-2000 slr 35mm. The result has indeed been flattering, but still the Hammerite smooth silver painted over a layer of hammerite special metal primer has improved the overall appearance.
For our friends who too have to take the whole back end off to replace the rear output shaft seal , why not paint it up if needed.
cheers everone

Thanks for the particulars Jonny. My final drive has to come off soon and I'm very tempted to do the Hammerite!

Bike is looking great, were you tempted to spray the panniers to match the bike colour as well?

Fabulous bike. Did you have to use a primer on the aluminium , I've been checking it out and they say to use a primer on non ferrous?
Good job
