No Wheels
No Shox
No Brakes
No rectifier
No battery

Why don't you just buy a new bike Frank? ;)

It would probably be cheaper and easier :lol:

Clifford (The big red dog) is a good mascot :lol:

Some progress - Front discs have finally gone on.

Been to Hawk Fastners and bought quite a bit of nice stainless fastners to finally banish the Blue alloy rubbish that the previous owner had fitted.

Painted my new header pipes and old rocker covers - looking a bit flaky.

Finished the tank refurb - Big up here to Derek and the POR15 he recommended - its a superb treatment thats been covered in previous posts. The interior of my tank is now so much better than before.

The only addition I made to the detailed instructions were putting the whole tank inside a bin bag and tearing a hole where the filler cap was. I then duc-taped around the hole to prevent any splashes to the paint work - as I'm not the most careful worker in the world.

Nelly has recommended trying ST4S clutch plates and a set arrived today that I'll fit asap - by gum does Nelly know his stuff !!!

More - as it happens :devil:
