Update of this weeks progress
All thats left now is to get the bodywork fixed, theres a small crack above the right indicator so thats still needs repair with some fiberglass and q bond, and 4 of the panels will have to be painted. Then theres the petrol tank, Im trying to find a 2nd hand one in the right colour. If i can replace instead of repair it'll save me around 160quid
Anyway, the original side panel was already cracked when i bought the bike but its beyond repair and theres no point in repainting a damaged panel. so i got back on the phone to a breaker and i bought this silver one for 20 something quid, posted to my door

The front indicator adapters fitted nicely, but i wouldn't find any shaped to fit the rear fender and had to make my own...

The cam shaped pieces are a part of the original indicator stalks which i took apart, they needed to be flattened out with a hammer and have the bolt holes filled and then i gave them a coat of satin black paint. The plastic pieces i cut out of a spare mudguard i had leftover for my old honda CRM250 and drilled holes to size. The idea is that the metal pieces sit on the outside of the fender to blank the cutout for the standard indicators, and act as a bracket for the new indicator. Whilst the plastic piece sits on the inside of the fender, and the nut&thread of the indicator clamps the two pieces tightly together

And a 350mm delkavic exhaust arrived at the door yesterday

Just look at the size difference i havent had either on the scales but its incredible how heavy the original exhaust is

Shes getting there some nice touches, i like how youve taken the time to make some tidy brackets for the indicators, as apposed to what most people would do, and drill new holes in the rear underpiece, leaving ugly holes exposed on both sides. Nice work ____________________ Bikes dont leak oil, they mark their territory |

You come across mechanics sometimes which you need to keep on at just to make them 'get on with it' but then you risk them getting frustrated with you, clueless as to why they're being nagged
The problem with breakers bikes as well is they've usually been thrown down the road at some point, hence why they're worth more in parts. sometimes parts that look tidy on ebay arrive and you find damage that wasn't visible in the pictures. that 'street fighter' cat looks to be in good nick though, but It seems to me you like everything to be in top condition, so you should still consider spending the extra dosh having your old tank sorted out. At least then you know what to expect. ____________________ Bikes dont leak oil, they mark their territory |

There is a bit of play in the clutch lever but i dont notice it too much, finding a spacer that fits around the bushing is on my list of jobs to do though
I have actually got a tank now, the breakers pulled through in the end. However its leaking fuel out the bottom of the tank, where the fuel tap bolts on. It never leaked on the old tank so i dont know whats going on with it. The tap has a rubber seal in it but theres no gasket that could of been lost
Any Suggestions please??? |

One step forward, two steps back

i never wanted a project when i bought this bike but i guess thats what its become... I didnt want to risk being unhappy with it if the colour of the fairings didnt match,and seeing as im having most of the fairing painted anyway, its logical to have the nose cone and L:H panel painted too |
