I'll probably regret this but get this and try to keep the bloody tap straight.

Why was there still a 15 year old plug in there? Can we have another workshop topic, the last one was quite entertaining.

Tried out the Harpic on me pipes.

I took out a few bolts to see if I could swing the rad forward to clean a bit higher but found out that I'd have to disconnect hoses so I passed.
They could probably do with another go but I'm fairly happy with the results so far.

Damn, that stuff works.

Got the Hornet MOT'd yesterday. Got to my parents on Monday and was expecting to have starting issues as it hasn't really been started since the last MOT. Tried bump starting it, no dice. Slung in a new battery and she was good to go. Passed MOT without advisories. Parked up the Blackbird in the parents garage and rode the Hornet back to Bristol. Going to give it a clean and a service this weekend before putting it up for sale.

Dunno if there's a common consensus. I used the one in the black bottle and it works brilliant. Put on with a sponge scourer then rinsed off.

It says "Tube-Type" on it but I haven't used an inner tube

Sure I've seen people saying they didn't scrub at all? Paint it on, go have a cuppa, wash it off, job done?

Copper gasket spray finally arrived so I got to work. Not ideal I know but so far so good...

Head back on cams in and timing set.

Cover back on.

Carbs wrestled back in.

Headers and pipe back on along with all the other bits and pieces.

Got it running but fuel was pissing out from the carbs.

Forgot a hose on the carb. Had to pull the fuckers off again as there was no chance of squeezing my hand between to get the hose and fastner on.

Took it for a test ride. No problems. Karma for who can spot the socket I forgot to remove.

Might wanna sort that back tyre out, or has the money that you should have spent on the tyre gone on the R1?

Last night I had an after work tinker session and fitted ais block off plates and a LeoVince 3/4 exhaust system, the ais plates and de-cat were used which saved some cash and the pipe is already ceramic coated might get the headers done to match one day.

Refilled the coolant.

Which started leaking on test ride 2.0

Not to worry only a clip I forgot to put back on one of the coolant hoses because I was rushing around yesterday.

Now it just needs fresh oil/filter and plugs.

I thought you used tap water?
