2003 1150GS Adventure rebuild

cheers spangle really appreciate your sentiments
 
Thanks blueranger for your support
 
Spent the morning getting the bolt wells cleaned and decided to give the covers another rub. I'm starting to feel like Mr Miagi's love child :comfort
Anyway the plan for the covers is to give them a coat of VHT paint followed by a slow cure in the barbie like the cylinder heads and barrels

more progress

Cleaned and sprayed and baked rocker cover bolts and washers, saved myself a few bob (tight Cavan git:aidan).

Spark plugs cover done as well.

Engine now on it's back ready for underside to be sanded, wire brushed and coated with paint.

Not happy with alternator cover thought I could leave pit marks and dents but they are bugging the s**t out of me so cover going to get another make over
