Don't let your mates paint your bike,a friend painted my frame while i was in hospital.God bless him,he put one big thick coat on it.
Now it is falling off.(Bugger)

Well it will be easier striping it down the second time but what a pain having to do it over,What model is your bike, 1966 or earlier

The bike is a W1SP-A not sure what year but it is in almost as new condition.It had the wrong carbs on it as you can see from the top photo off a 450 or something.
So i got a set from Germany in exelent condition.I am starting to think the undercoat is the paint problem,i will re do it with a 2 pack under coat that we use on our aircraft frames.
I am hoping to find a CB750 police bike around 1973 ish for my next project or a cop Z900.

.....
pretty much Steve - it was a copy of a BSA A7. Better metallurgy (even back then) than the pommie bikes.
Good examples of this bike are getting hard to find......
