I thought embroiding my new hat was hardcore, but a tattoo. :cool: love it!


Gotta see pics of this tattoo! Proper cool :cool:


And good news on the new coilies dude, will look sick lower! How are you going to protect them? Mine have got waxoyl on them but yet to clean it off and see if its worked and they will still adjust!! lol

 :cool: wil get some once it's finished as some lines look abit sketchy and needs filling :) and copper grease is usually the best bet ;)

Copper grease and just look after them, clean them, etc. Re-grease when it needs it maybe.

Can't wait to get all this together, just ordered all the hosing/piping I need to re-route things, woop!

That made me happy :smiley:

Am I right in thinking just spray on some engine de-greaser and then hose off to remove it? Then bit of WD40 and they should be good to go? Then just re-protect afterwards?
