It's been 8 years since it was last done so it needed a refresh. I'm going to get the wheels refurbed again - last done 12 years ago and get the mapping sorted at last!
Should be getting the rear brake disc shields back from powder coating this week.

Does it get driven much now? How many miles have you put on it in the last 12 months?

It probably did maybe 200 miles in the last year... it's only done 800 miles since 2012!

These will be getting sprayed with Hammerite as they couldn't be powder coated.

It's not surprising how bad the backing shields get, given the amount of crap they have to put up with.
I've never stripped the back wheels down far enough, and it didn't look like the shields were replaceable, for some reason! Always wondered what the next move would be!
Now I know...

These went off for a refurb the other day. Not bad at all from a distance but starting to look scabby on the back of them.
I've gone for a standard silver this time so hopefully they'll look brand new again.
