I brush painted most of the wheel. It has a sand cast
finish so this is ok. The rims are smooth so I decided to spray them. To
protect the tyre I broke the bead and made a "shield" out of thin
plywood.

Draining the fork oil
The fork gaiters were perished & split. I'll get a new set for next winter but in the meanwhile I'll fit these protectors. I'm not convinced they do much.....
I usually clean & lubricate the front brake caliper but this time I removed the master cylinder & caliper to do some painting

Good job Stuart, thats really freshened everything up. Those plastic stanchion protectors are actally rather good at preventing stones from chipping the surface, the st1100s had them and mine were all pitted with stone chips but the forks were fine.
