Well, after a month of letting it rot away under a bike cover in the garden while sorting out sale of the 750 and being busy IRL, I finally did some stripping down today.
Fairings off to examine what lies beneath -

Tripping over tools and fairing panels -

This was strange and rather disconcerting. A few tugs on the hydraulic clutch and BOOM the hose blew under the top banjo, pissing fluid everywhere. A frenzied clean up with acres of wet cloths followed. I then cracked the bottom union off and drained the system to stop it happening again while i sort a new hose.

Seat unit off - what do we have here? The remains of a ghetto alarm system, that's what . Luckily the remains only touched the OEM wiring at two points, once at the fusebox and once at the rear light loom, possibly as some form of indicator repeater when arming the godawful contraption.

So onto the bad stuff. The bike had an advisory at last MOT for a "slightly blowing exhaust". While it didn't sound too bad I've now found out why the previous owner had sourced a replacement system. The collector where the silencers attach is, to be blunt, fucked.

My intention was to leave the exhaust swop untill winter but having seen this I just can't. However this is what I have to deal with at the engine end.

Not looking forward to trying to undo those at all.
Feeling a bit meh about the whole thing to be honest. While I want to get it on the road ASAP I'm not going to cut corners. Spent a few quid on Robinsons's website, mainly on bits and bobs, probably go and buy some shit on Wemoto later so at least I have all the bits to hand. ____________________ 18:54:48 Rob Fzs: jews don't give away stuff for free

Well today I took the oil cooler and exhaust silencers off in lieu of attempting to remove the headers.
Then I deceided to assess how deep the shit was regarding the header flange bolts.
Answer - very deep
I got one of the outer bolts undone. However most of the rest have marinated in rust so long that the hex just falls to bits the moment you apply any torque. Well at least they'll never snap .
So plan is to drill the heads off the remaining bolts, get the headers off and then helicoil the fucking lot in situ. It'll be a right cvnt of a job, make no mistake. Have stocked up on drill bits as a session dismantaling the belly pan this morning showed my current drill bits to be as much use as Smiler in a job interview. ____________________ 18:54:48 Rob Fzs: jews don't give away stuff for free
