Love me a CW! Glad to see you're keeping it real with a opc too! :daumenhoch:

quick update, gave the frame and fork 24 hours in a citric bath and a load of Peek over the weekend to get the original chrome as good as possible. Pretty happy with the outcome, so now to speak to Del about a nice set of decals....

decals have arrived, just need to find some time to get them on now...
