          So I finally managed to hammer my linkage free I used a soft aluminium washer on the bolt so I didn’t damage it hitting it here’s a few pics of my bushings, thankfully all of my relay bolts are in almost perfect condition and the grease nipples aren’t seized! I cleaned them up real good for the picture

                        The yoke looks mint irl but it doesn’t show through on the camera it’s a wrinkle black paint which will be my accent paint for the bike and of course it had to be gold rims the gold is the faded vintage colour that I like

                            @NINJA yeah, powder coating obviously is the best but I enjoy painting, The gold is brushed on and the finish does suffer it’s not perfect but you get to make it more personal touch IMO
