Thought the solid mud on your aircraft carrier (as seen on NW rideout) was way cool.
Keep on keepin' on.

The plan is by the end of the month to have chrome rims and powder coated gloss black wheeles. I have orderd my link pipe for my micron exhaust and then really go to town on the paint work................how hard is it ti polish the frame?.

Its not difficult to polish the frame, just dirty and time consuming to make a proper job.
The RU has the advantage of having a painted frame that can be stripped with paint stripper first whareas the R models were anodized
