Looking really nice, I'm off to Griffs next week for Zinc work (silver) and my engine cases, hope they come back as good as yours! :)

Hi Andy, I checked out their web page and was well impressed. Its great they reinstated the 'griffs' back into the company name and still show and look after his old bike.

Did you drive to their workshop or post stuff to them? I'm just waiting for a second hand engine case to arrive in the post then i was going to take a drive down. 3 weeks isnt too bad i suppose...
