@johnb NICE! Swing arm is great! Wheels look great too! Close to finishing? She’s like me LOL

Rims are painted and covered with a clear coat. Tires did fit easily.
During my first bike build, I applied the clear coat when the entire build was done, this caused the tires to have a shiny look as well which is not the case in real life of course, well, except for brand new tires.
This time I decided to apply the clear coat first before attaching the tires. The completed wheels will then be attached at the final stage.

@johnb they look great John

@chinesegeorge, thank you, George. She cannot wait to have it on the shelf.
@bikequeen, thank you, Cricket
@fiveten, thank you, Spiros.

I appreciate your difficulties with the tyre markings, @johnb, but you seem to have solved the problem anyway. I always dampen the tyre surface slightly before applying the markings and they seem to adhere OK. But, as long as your method works for you, then that’s fine as well. Well done for drilling out those cooling holes on the brake disc, those little detailing steps go a long was to making the model more realistic.

@chinesegeorge, thank you, George. I followed that same procedure but none of them adhered to the tire this way. Luckily I was still able to get them on without damaging them.
@fiveten, thanks a lot, Spiros

I am just catching up, John (@johnb). This looks like a lot of work, but it will really cool when you are done.

Did some paintwork on the chain. In total six different colors used.
