V85 facelift

(1/59) > >>

Huzo:
You’d think that at the tender age of 7 months the V85 would still have a youthful look, but I’ve not been a huge fan of the predominance of black spread all over the bike.
So to that end and buoyed by Beetle’s photo shop image..

I have embarked on the work required.
The rims are being polished professionally and I’m doing the other stuff myself. I’ve started by applying paint stripper and it’s lifting the black ok, that’ll be followed by a thorough clean and be re done in silver the same colour as the foot peg brackets.
Here’s the carnage so far..

If this comes out half as sweet as your Norge handiwork, you've got another beauty on your hands!

I didn't think Australia has much of a winter that forces one to stay inside for a few months doing those types of projects.   :thumb:

Thanks mate, it should be fun.

Huzo:
Spent most of today paint stripping and wire brushing. As well as removing bits for the electroplater.
