Enjoying this thread a great deal

I'm glad you're liking things so far. Was starting to wonder if its worth posting as i feel like its only me looking at it. Oh well i'll keep plodding on and see how it goes.

I've ordered some new brakes which are a bit of a bargain
DUCATI 748 R 2001-2002 ARMSTRONG FRONT WAVY DISCS SET on eBay (end time 03-Apr-11 15:28:11 BST)

will update when they arrive.

Today i've been stripping down the subframe ready for paint. Took loads of pics of wire routing but not really worth putting those up. I'll take some better ones tomorrow hopefully if i can get it rubbed down and some primer applied.

I found a cool nut and bolt supplier in Harrogate today. If you need some give them a shout.

www.tool-bolt.com

Got a load of stainless bolts for not a great deal of cash.

Some new bling has arrived. Wheel bearing fitted too.

They look good on the rim

Hope to get some rubber fitted soon.

Well its been a productive day so far. Went and got some lovely sticky rubber. £230 fitted at www.biketyresleeds.com

Then we carried out the dreaded timing belt change. Stressful but not too bad really.

Then a bit more paint went on the engine

And then just for good measure i got some primer on the rear subframe.

And its now beer o'clock. Phew
