Got her today, I have taken pictures but cant find the upload cable so ill have a look in a minute.
got 44000 miles on the clock, all the electrics work, he threw in a battery for free
No toolkit in the back I would have done some work on her today but I havent had the time and its been raining and id rather not risk it with an open carb cover.
Off to look for the cable now.
Cheers

what i did today:
Clean glue of sidepanel a bit, It wont come off with mr sheen, turps, white spirit, warm water or a hairdrier so im resorting to very fine wet and dry on the logic that its going to be resprayed anyway.
fixed the horn, quite loud aswell some Fiamm black and red thing the size of my fist, that will be useful when in town I think.
Cleaned rear sprocket and swingarm
Tomorrow:
Refit suzuki altornator cover
Tighten all loose bolts (ive noticed a few)
try and get to front sprocket.
hunt for a bandit 400 rear hugger to mod on
hunt for something I can turn into a front fenda extenda
clean downpipes a bit more
Cheers

So yesterday i did a bit of work on her, bodged the carb cover to repair it (superglue a bit of plastic over the hole and covered the top in aquarium sealant)
Charged the battery
oiled the linkages on the carbs (choke and throttle)
poured a bit of petrol down the pipe
pressed start and head her run for the 3rd time ever, sounds amazing and makes the floor vibrate just standing next to it.
Changed the brake fluid on both resevoirs, doesnt drag as much and brakes are even more effective.
later today im going to sort out the mess of hoses, refit the airbox and battery (been tickle charging overnight) and try and fix the bar end.
Also fit the tacho cable and brake lever if I can. along with the chain.
Cheers
