New Brake Lever (Day 35)

Very exciting day for me today; I got my first new part in the post.  A beautiful brake lever.  Fabulous satin black powder coat finish.  I am in love. 
 
 I don't expect you to understand but it is love.  It is also encouragement.  I imagine the whole machine in this state of newness again.  And it propels me on.
 
This is where it goes.
 
One day the whole engine may look like that except of course the side casings which are just polished alloy.  I will do all the frame and parts like this.  Even the engine barrels and casings were originally painted black (or powder coated) except for the polished alloy side casings of course.
