    OK after 40 years I finally have a garage to myself. Couldn't wait for benches and shelves so I stripped the old girl down and laid her out on the floor. It just started as I quick rewire to fix up some shonky bits in the electrics then sort of got out of control.

    Out of control ? Only by a little bit.

    Finished painting the bits, black metalflake for frame etc and chameleon pearl for the guards and tanks. Got a bit anxious during the painting, couple of problems but it came good at the end.

    Started bolting her back together

    Judging by the closeness of the fins I would say that's not a stock set of jugs!

    Did you make the harness from scratch, or buy a ready made harness to suit?

    Finally back together and on the road, last minute disaster with muffler flanage cracking (big chrome quiet one) so fitted the Supertrap original. Way too noisey so cut up a standard Harley muffler to get some baffles, modified them with bigger holes and cut down shorter so it just fitted neatly inside supertrap. Acceptable noise now, wont go deaf anyway. Getting paranoid parking her anyway now, dont want to get her scratched.
