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

Hang about, I've come over all geeky

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

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

Docs were shut so i went to the vets instead! i should be fine in a day or two!

Today i have been doing all sorts, i have picked afew bits up from being vapor blasted, dropped my frame, swingarm, fork bottoms and rear calliper mount off at the painters,

Stripped the gearbox! will it ever work again.

Just waiting for some powder coating and my engine vapor blasting, oh and dropped aload of bearings, seals off to be matched up at Y.E.S in Goole.

Thanks Fred, and course you can use the picture mate.

Today i went and picked up my engine after being vapor blasted, but im taking it back on Tuesday because they have miss quite afew bits of dirt in the nooks and crannies!

Ive also fitted new pistons and seals to my calipers and a repair kit to my master cylinder.

and ive been given the wrong thread banjo bolts for my brake lines so i have to get them exchanged on Tuesday aswell.

Looking good =D>

have you got a budget for all this.(it must be costing you a fortune).
very jelouse,its going to look mint!!

yep, it is coming along ian,

i dropped your forks off for hard chroming monday, [going to be 4 weeks ]
but managed to get them for £135
i will post that powervalve in with them once i get them back

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

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!!!!

Good man,

Quality Job =D>

Thanks lads,
I should have my frame, swingarm, fork bottoms back on Wednesday so i can start bolting it back together.

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.
