Well late october i get the usual call "mav how busy are you?"
well you just know whats coming next!
After a couple of long runs down the south of france,two trips to Assen and a few more trips to the ring , It was time to do some makeovers.
ok so where do you realy start? The Key plan was to strip the bikes pretty much down to engine , frame, forks and wheels
and get started with the Refurb program.
first job is to remove all Tar spots Traffic film, crud etc etc
well it's not just a case of spray some Degreaser on and wash it of
so all the looms were disconected and all connections cleaned and a smear of waterproof grease on them etc etc
(you would be amazed how corroded the connections can become!)
Then it's on to some major degreasing with tooth brush and many a painstaking hour removing all the crap that had got into the places where you just cant get during normal cleaning!
After the bike is in "Bling" condidtion we then have a meeting to decide what if any MODS they want doing and so on !
wheels painted, Ohlins damper and shocks fitted , and whatever els takes their fancy
once that is all taken care of , i then start on pannels with a dam good "T" cut and polish or get paint work sorted if they are showing worse for wear
and after that it's rebuild time making sure of attention to detail
and the end results look A OK !
All Ready now to go and do it all over again NEXT year
ps some pics below..........mav
All in all about 3 grand in parts and labour was spent!
