Just realised that I hadn't posted a full size picture of my bike. It is a bit cleaner now, have painted the crash bars, polished the fork sliders, changed the grips and have a red headlamp fairing. Must take another picture then. Oh and thanks to honda the headstock now sports a natty grease nipple. You can see my other bikes, some now sold on the bike group of my Flickr pages www.flickr.com/photos/belowred/sets/72157600447044854/My general photos are here www.flickr.com/photos/belowred/ - nothing to do with bikes

seeing that last one made me want to post mine too Here is where you can find more, should you want to. On the pics only one of the side cases is mounted, these were made when I came to look for the first time, and the previous owner didn't mount the second one.... Two of the pics were made on the ride home (my dad drove.....I still have no license), th red car on the pic is mine too As soon as the weather lets up a bit, I'll polish it and take some new pics

Hi Dererk
I'm in the Aberystwyth area, and my bike was on E-bay from the Welshpool area.

Hi Jaz, Many thanks for posting the picture for me, it was a suprise to see it just now as Demon mailer had returned the e-mail I sent you as no such address. The ghosts in the system seem to have it in for me at the moment. The braided hoses were on there when I got her the guy who had her before me obviously loved her . I know this to be true as I met his son at a bike show and he came over with all the books and manuals + a 1988 magazine with the road test in it and said his dad wished he haden't sold it. I bought it 3 years ago for £600 in the condition you see it, it's a little darling.

A few more pics of NT now in the final colour, Ford Escort Mexico, Pheonix Orange,if anyone else is old enought to remember them, with a candy orange overcoat and top laqeur coat. Can see it too well in the pics, but is great and unique as well. i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff299/russblack_album/DSCF0153.jpg[img src="[/img]http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff299/russblack_album/DSCF0152.jpg "]

Nice colour and the finish looks good. Have you painted the frame too?
I have a winter project to spray my second tank and sort out the comestics for the second bike. I've been considering some decals from eBay, but wondered if they were suitable for a good finish. They looks similar to yours, may I ask where they're from? Did they give the finish you were looking for; were they easy to apply?
