Re:

That looks great; a nice usable classic. You obviously have a great deal of experience polishing things! Now you need to get some miles in while the summer is still here.

I know "bull shit " baffles brains. 25 years in the forces helps with polishing lol. I don't know why but it's relaxing to me (sad) I know!

Going to take her out round sunny summer set today. I think we deserve a ride, food and pint while it's a nice day.

Once again thanks for all the help, hopefully I did not pester you to much?

Re:

Nope, happy to help.

Been out the Atlantis, just round the base. I can't believe how smooth "she" is. Love the gears in fact everything about her. Sundays are never going to be the same again. Winters are stripping, service and polish time as you first said. " in warm comfy surroundings."

My new bikes are for week days and MTB, which I have now upgraded instead of buying a new one. 2009 so in the MTB world classed as old which am loving lol

Suntour is good quality kit, well designed and manufactured. I have Suntour components on a couple of my machines. Enjoy!
