Shiney is the path from the dark side. When dull and polished not you reach, look as good you will not... 'Yoda rides a KR-1'
Yeah well I've always sided with the bad guys, so get in there Lord Vader \:D/

Hang about, I've come over all geeky :oops: :lol:

But seriously though, the bad guys do tend to have more fun, they may not last very long in Hollywood but they have a good time \:D/

Anyway Teerex, about this OCD, modern medicine has come a long way & I honestly believe there is now a tablet to cure all obsessive problems. I would pop along to the docs, he should if I remember rightly prescribe a drug called PCP&P.

It works wonders & really lasts well :wink:

I did have a budget but its gone out of the window, i may have to sell it when finished as i need a new garage at my new house :cry:

It will stand me at around £4000 finished as i have to also pay for a perfect undamaged fairing then have the whole bike repainted.

I am just waiting for the chromers to re-zinc all the standard nuts and bolts before i can rebuild the engine, everything will be replaced ie bearings, seals new tyres i try not to think of the cost.

KEEPS ME OUT OF THE PUB THOUGH, Because i sit in the shed with a whisky instead!!!! :)

This morning i built up the gearbox and fitted afew bits & bobs to the crank cases, just waiting for my gaskets etc to arrive, i mocked up the engine rather than have bits all over.
