Additional laquer job for the Bobber


When I had the airbrush job done 6 months ago, the original black paint on the air filter cover and battery cover was left untouched because they still looked good. However after 6 months, early signs of fading have appeared probably because there was hardly any laquer or maybe none at all. Yesterday, I had the 2 components lacquered to match the laquer of the airbrush job. Today, I am pleased with the finish as you can see by the mirror reflection of the tile and exhaust pipe.

Loose excess petrol hose solved


 
Now you see it, now you don't. Yesterday, I just realized one of the excess petrol hose for the carburettors was missing so today had it replaced FOC. The last time, it was the excess petrol hose for the petrol tank that went missing. I conclude that the metal clip that comes along with the hose as quite unreliable, better to use a pvc cable tie before warranty expires. When I got home, as a back-up plan, I used another cable tie and secured both hoses to the power cable as I noticed it was very easy for the non-cable tied hose to come off.
