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 .

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:

The problem with retirement is that you cant take a day off

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.
Nothing to do.............all day to do it....I love retirement :lol:

@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
