Promises promises

Pulled the top of the TZ, checked the pistons, rebuilt it, balanced the carbs, put the fairing back on, cleaned it, polished the frame and swing arm.............just so that WJB can thrash it and make it all dirty again at the weekend.

Donnington Saturday and Sunday if you've got nothing better to do.

Those Brembo GP calipers.... Mmmmm.... so so tempted!!

Just seen a new rear floating, vented disc for the RS models, only £900 ! that looked pretty bling

Will be starting the strip down soon, but just to give her a damn good clean. No flashy mods planned.

Think I'll take her in the dining room for that, cos the hallway is just a bit small. Sometimes it's good to be single

Hope i can remember how to put it back together.

they go back together really easy i did mine last winter i only had a few problems with the loom but nothing looking at it for a few hours didn't solve

[deej]

if in doubt stop and have a coffee/beer taht should help you put it back together

[bradders]

rear wheel is out and will probably get both powder coated black...rear shock out for rebuild...zorst completely removed to be polished (having a go myself with one of those home kits..anyone know a good local polisher for when it goes wrong??)...rear brake pedal off, got to find an engineering co to make a new lever for me...then replace most of the bolts as they are really furred...still to come remove forks and have them reworked to match my style/weight

...but unlike others I DON'T enjoy it

That reminds me - I've still got those forks in the garage that I need to get sorted if you're still interested in the TiN stanchions Bradders?

[Clippy]

I'm spending the winter painting and stickering up my track day bodywork.

I intend to leave it on all year next year (it has light cut-outs) and to save the standard kit from stones, garage doors etc etc.

Then there's the rear suspension to sort - I have raised the ride height and now the spring seems pretty solid! I'll back off the pre-load and see if I can reintroduce some sag!
