Dropped the parts off to be painted yesterday. Still a bit screwed for blasting the wheels though which is a shame. I dont want to have to grit blast them as it wrecks the alloy compared to vapour blasting..
Damn you babcock

Red with black lettering (if its raised) on the calipers for the win!
Loving the cleanliness of the calipers though. Although im sure it was puckered asshole time worrying about blasting the inside of the caliper

I look at all these shiny NC30's and then I look at mine and I just can't bring myself to bother! I commute on mine every day and to get it Craig clean would keep me off the road for weeks and then I'd not want to ride it for fear of getting it dirty 
So anyway I gave mine a good wash today and attacked the metal bits with a brillo pad... It's looking a little better but no match for the perfectionists:

Maybe if it wasn't so old and battered, and I hadn't spent all my money keeping it running and I had another bike I'd consider throwing some money at it and giving it some real TLC

Bah, they're for riding.
I cleaned my bike friday (the 3rd time in the two years ive owned it) as im was bringing it back to uni.
I actually scraped all the crap out from behind the fairing panels (panel off, and panel by panel) and by the sidestand etc and cleaned with white spirit then rinsed off straight away, then washed it with autoglym.
Then /shock/ dried it.
Then amazingly shocked it, i attempted giving it a bit of a polish.
I found the initial scraping off gunk fulfilling, the rest just bugged me. Its a sod getting a good finish.
Then i buzz to the shops quickly to get petrol and food before i left (for the 250 mile trip), get back, already looked like someone had thrown up on the front of it by flies.
I can tell you now, you hit more of the luminescent ones straight after you've cleaned something (and ive got a white helmet).
Leave it as it is, try not to trash it, and enjoy thrashing it. 
(not that i dont envy craigs bike, but only if someone was making it that clean for me, and keeping it that way)

Got some more bits done, actually I had these done some time ago but they have been hidden in a box while I was moving house and sort of forgotten about while I was getting my head together! 
Black bits..

Fingers crossed will have the wheels back this week, nice and white  Then need to blast and paint a few more bits (disks, back caliper(  bugger forgot about the back caliper ) and mabaye rear shock) To get it ready for the road. Might have it done this summer, not counting on it as I have the house to concentrate on too!
