I dont suspect anyone cares. but poppy was able to leave the garage, for the first time in six months, today.
She doesnt look much but is well on the way to getting on the road.

Ive striped her down, removed all body work, rear wheel, shock and swing arm...
I've had the pivot bairings replaced on the swing arm, and fitted a new rear wheel. I've genrally cleaned her up a bit.

Left to do,

Some corrosion on engine caseings should come off with a wire brush.

I need to strip the front end, check forks are ok, then re-fit with the new front wheel.

I have a full set of new brake calipers to fit.

New exhaust system was ordered last night, old one rusted through.

last thing is to get the engine checked over, timeing sorted and MOT.

I will prob re-spray the fairings at some point, and polish various bits and bobs, but looks arent realy a prioaty, want to get her on the road first.

Its a 1987 cbr 600 FH. I've had her a while and have been slowly getting her back to full health. I got the swing arm and rear wheel back on which ment i could move her out of the garage to give her a good wash to remove months if not years of road crap.
