Hey Errol, paint job is a way off yet, first thing is to get some OEM blinkers on it and get it registered,then get back to RH re-hab. Its been hard to resist doing anything to it, but l,ve been doing some sample clean up tests on the bare finish motor, acetone and an artists brush seems to be doing the trick

Nice one, Jonesey! How long till it gets repainted back to its former scheme, or do you have other plans for it?

Paul,
Do I see an obsession developing?

20 years after selling it I finally bought it back
Before the blue spot conversions came along I did a CBR 600 conversion in the mid 90's

Regular visitors here would no that chrisso owned it for 17 of the last 20 years and here is some of his attention to detail

and a simple little mod to the brakes that tidies up the rear

So now maybe the only 2 wire wheeled XS's in Oz are under the one roof?
