Thanks Bluegmhtmonaro and Deejay, I'm stoked with the way it turned out.
Fired it up today and it purrs like a kitten. No more vibrating and the engine runs a lot smoother too. I just had to adjust the cutting reel a touch more.
conquest96 not sure what the paint colour is called, I picked it off one of the paint shops chart and they put it in aerosol cans for me, I used 2 cans of it.
tezza98_tnharris yes I painted the handle bars with a chrome paint, sanded all the rust off with 600 sand paper first.
i wasn't sure how to go about getting them re chromed, they turned out well just not sure what the longevity will be.
