Mechanically sound, and then some. My bikes are restored to full working order as well as their tidy condition. Added a few tweaks here and there - which actually surprised the RVF's next owner on his ride home Confused

. The chap who bought it (some part of me wonders why I ever let it go) lives 30 odd miles away and said he was going to add it to his collection. Hope to see it again some time in the spring.

I think I'd reached showroom condition by around April, but wasn't content with that, so out came the Autosol.

Like the Blade is becoming, the RVF was a constant evolution of restored, polished and modified components. I won't be wet'n'drying the Blade's frame though Neutral

lol, not as bad as you think; the RVF even saw salt, sleet and snow last year - it actually gives me a real excuse to give them a clean Wink

craigs23 · Mr Muscle Joined: 08 Jun 2005 Karma :

Mostly, although engine internal work I leave to the experts.

I,ve seen some rough old bikes in my time ,but that blade is disgraceful.How can anyone let their bike get into that state? Shocked

craigs23 · Mr Muscle Joined: 08 Jun 2005 Karma :

I'm sorry Steve, must try harder - I'm letting the side down. Wink

ive washed/cleaned/dried/polished/polished/polished my bike WAY to much this christmas. i think my fairings are starting to go see through Shocked

only thing that isnt nice and shiney is the screen, which is scratched and foggy Sad

Some stainless tig-welded expansion chambers would look great on your RS.

Haven't cleaned the KL yet Embarassed

My SP2/Firestorm callipers have been fitted, didn't get a chance to bleed the system though. No photos yet though, apart from this artist's impression:

Ohlins shock returned from Kais, as did some Ohlins fork springs and oil. Won't be fitted for a week or two though.

Oh, nearly forgot - got my first batch of Meguairs, works wonders with the new micro fibres.

I thought it was 15 years for bikes - not to worry, insurance is a lot cheaper than I thought when I first had the idea of getting the Blade (in fact, it made getting one become a reality).

OCD - maybe a little; well, polishing the insides of the heel plates was maybe a little extreme - but would want to show the soon-to-be-fitted Ohlins off from every angle Neutral
