I'm sure some of you will have seen this on FB so this is for the old guys  :salute:

For a B&W its quite nice!

Looks great the only thing I'm not sure about is the chrome casings I remember an article from years ago that said chroming a casing reflects the heat back into the engine and making them run much hotter than they should .
Probably from the days before good oilcooler motors but it's a thing I always remembered.
Other than that a fine example of the breed .

You dont get that problem with Black

I seem to remember Dave warning that bits of chrome can come off on the inside of the chromed casings and damage the engine?  :bugga:

I did - happened to a mate of mine with a Hardley who had his casings triple chromed by a reputable chroming company, about 15 months later the big end bearings went - reason being chrome flakes in the oil.

@Red Biker not sure with the amount of black on your casings  :stir: :rofl3: :whistling:

Don't think I've seen rocker trim chromed before but looks good

Lovely looking bike but would last about 10 minutes in Scotland's inclement climate

Lol true Del, he's in Greece I believe
where I think the average annual rainfall is a couple of mm lower!
