Brilliant progress Garry =D>

I have to admit i'm of a similar mind with my bikes, do it yourself & get the buggers on the road

Apart from my Kr1s project, which is driving me mad. As it is turning into a nut & bolt job......grrrrrrrrr

Forks done and back in with swapped yoke

Re-built the calipers and gave them a re-spray a few coats of
lacquer and new bolts - managed to get them working without getting brake fluid everywhere

I think its best to just have one project at a time Howie - otherwise
you never seem to get any of them finished

Hi Garry,
Looking good, I like the black wheels
Nice finish on the spannies (Nikons?)
Cheers
Bernie

Thanks Bernie

The wheels are some of the bits i have accumulated over the years

Am using some of them on this bike

The pipes are Nikons - used BBQ paint - seems to give a hard wearing
finish and cleans easy

Shouldn't be too long now before it's all back together

Rear caliper rebuilt - pistons had seized - got them to move eventually by
pushing them back, spray of WD40 and then using the brake lever - since it was having no effect on its own

Will fit the disc when the wheel comes out for a new tyre

Frame spars polished and lacquered

Got some electrics to sort out then fairing repairs

Not sure if a black mudguard might look better - will wait and see when the fairings back on

Looks good,black wheels go well with the B2 paintjob
How come you cut the side panels down,to get at the fuel lines on the tap easier?

The reason i cut the panels Davewas because they were cracked at the front - however i think i prefer them this way - plus it does give you better
access

Have a good pair in the shed

Have repaired ears to the fairing and done lots of missed/botched jobs - still got a bit to
do but mainly small jobs i can do when i get a bit of spare time
