Hey Swoosh, I have my own old oven that my Mum used(40 yrs old), still works like a charm, I use an infrared temp gauge to check and set it. I have used my darling wifey,s kitchen oven ONCE! Mmmmmmm... wont do that again!

Anybody do a custom paint job such as painting the barells the same as the tank and sides other than black or silver, like maybe blue, yellow, red.........?

Do you want to see what your bike would look like with yellow barrels?
You probably want to go into town, and find a up to date Jap Bike store,
With a full spares department, a clean workshop, and kean young mechanics.
And ask them if theres a Grumpy Old Bloke out in the Hills, who knows how to fix Real Motorcycles.

Hi DiamondJ
I have also used Black PJ-1 with excellent results.
I think Mick Hemmings mentions this product on his Engine Strip down and Rebuild DVD.
