Thanks randtcastell, like Hamish said do it right first time and you should get no grief for years to come, being a painter and stubborn I have to get finishes pretty good or I can't fit back to bike, same with the aluminium/ stainless polished parts, hours on the finishing belt and buff wheel , just keep plugging away at it ,cheers

Gooday mate it's just an app called image size, you can take pics while in the app or pics from gallery and change size, played around with it for ages and finally butted it out, it's a nothing short of a small miracle for me

But who hosts the photo?. If you delete the photo from your phone then who is hosting it, how does it stay here Sorry for the thread jack but I'm looking for a new way to post photos without losing them all like last time when photobucket decided to blackmail all of us.

Nice work on your bike too mate :thumbup:
