Pterodactyl THE Bush Mechanic Did a GREAT job. Mate it looks neat. Good on you!

I will be posting a few pics as Carmanous suggested and a great way to share our bike hobby. I will try posting Just starting to learn how to use this website Carmanous I am sure I can try and work it out slowly but surely.

Pterodactyl Might be great catching up for a ride on a fine sunny day. Thanks mate. PLEASE can you tell me first how did you manage to pry off the covers I took the bolts off L crank case but the cover was stuck like it will never come off. Did you use the Honda sealing rubber tube how did you restore the rubber seal my feeling is once the cover is taken off the rubber seal will be damaged and cannot be reused. Did you have difficulty finding the matching silver paint?

On another note Houtman is RIGHT Engine Protectors FIRST!! Tells me I should spend time and install mine that are sitting in the packing..
Cheers

Naveed, my apologies for being slow to reply. I did my repairs on the bike and did not remove the cover. Just mask up well to prevent spray drift to other areas. Put the bike on the centre stand for the repair, unless you are lucky enough to have a raiseable bike table. Have a look at this post:
