Project Hornet Cup

[Wafer_Thin_Ham]

Having driven down to cornwall and back on Sunday. In the snow that cancelled the BSB, here's the fruits of my labour.

My new hornet race bike.

Note go faster dent. May fill it or see if it can be pulled out. I doubt it can be pulled out though, there's a lovely crease in it too.

The to do list:

New grips(current ones are fubarred)
Sort throttle cable(It doesn't snap back quickly at the moment and has 7mm of freeplay)
Fill tank dent or get it pulled out
re spray said tank
All new plastics
Anything else I think of along the way

In other news, cut the grips off today, couldn't be arsed to take the bar ends off and now the throttle snaps back properly so must have been some crap between the grip and the throttle housing. It's all still coming apart for a greasing anyway.

Slight update:

Tacho fixed
Cable sorted
New tyres on


Just noticed other things though

Disks are quite worn(winter job)
C&S are fairly worn
rad's bent(Still holds water, just)


I saw a samco hose kit on ebay too for £55


I just have to change the oil and filter then it's set for brands.

Resurrecting this since it's winter now and it's getting a refresh before the season starts, got to fit it in between uni so hopefully I'll be able to get most of it done.

Managed to bend the right rearset at Brands when I fell off, and bent the crash bung when I fell off at Rock, so it's getting new bungs too.

Ordered a shark fin from R&G, then waiting until I get paid to get all new plastics for it.
