s usual, this took a little more time than I had thought. A close inspection showed it needed a respray, local shop had some dark blue mettalic left over from a car job so that didnt cost the earth. Levers were bent or broken, indicators held together with tape but no great problems to replace. Fork seals, of course. Number 3 cylinders downpipe rusted to death, found the only one on the Bay in Florida, arrived safely if a bit expensively. Fitted a UK headlight as the original dipped somewhere to the right of David Cameron. Carbs needed dyno rod to clear the jets out, but ran and balanced nicely. Swing arm off, cleaned and painted, frams masked off, etch undercoat and rattle canned back to presentable. Ready for the MOT, first proper ride on the road, thought it was a bit' bouncy at the back, noted by the tester as an advisory, turned out that one of the shock springs had completely broken, happened on the ride to the MOT, could have been V nasty. New shocks off the Bay and thats now put to rights. Apart from that, no issues. Goes very well.... in a straight line, your not going to bother Valli in the twisties! Impressed by the motor, for its age it has some wallop. Thats it for this year, looking out for next years projects once prices settle down a bit. ____________________ The CBR900RR has been sold. Aprilia Falco worms its way into my heart.
Try Soi 23 on Amazon for a good read.... Self promotion? Moi? |

The last post was made 5 years, 78 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
