Oh and another bit of good news I Finnally got my cast off :doug only took 9 weeks, haa oh my i tell ya something it feels weaker then a paper safe, so im on schedule to be on the bike for the end of the month thank the lordy lord been a long few months

oh by the way "eano2" ive emailed the contact Ritch mentioned about the Decals and he said he can do the complete set for mine so if ya give him a tinkle he will sort you out a good price aswell, buying my set at the end of the month

Alright everyone

Time for another update

ok since the last lot of pics, ive now done the following

Fitted the Replacement Clip On and the replacement Cold start idle control, bit of a ball ache to fit the cable but got there in the end



next up was time to fit the Radiator to be fair this was quite an easy job but when fitting the belly pan i noticed there was something bent due to it not lining up damn it!!:dowhat



ok now it was the front fairing/clock bracket was looking forward to get this on as i was pretty limited to the jobs i could do with out it, also fitted the new clocks :biggrin
both parts were a walk in the park regarding fitting



last up for the day was the ignition barrel! this was the last part that i needed to test the electrics and to see if the bike would acctually start, now this was a bit of an oddball to fit, i removed the top yoke so that i could get to the bottom of the barrel and luckily for me all i needed was the plastic part of the new lock and to clip it on to the bottom of the old lock hey presto job done and get to keep the orignal keys.

next up was to connect the battery back up not that i thought it would do much good as its been stood still for 9 weeks and ive read so much about optimates and dead batterys etc etc but with wishfull thinking i thought hey worth a try!

well battery Connected and key in the ignition a few kind words to god and well ill let the pic say it for me



OH Yeahhhhhhh we have power :biggrin never been so happy to see them lights, next up was to start it up, as it was going so well i thought hell yeah lets give it ago,

Did a quick vid to record the 1st moments of the kick over :biggrin excuse the scruffy clothes haa



All in all a good day

Cheers Sprocker

Hoping to be on the road for the end of the month just waiting on a few last bits and respray, then i need to sort me wrist out so i can twist the throttle:devious

It was such a relief to hear the V-Twin come alive forgot how loud the bloody thing was :biggrin

another quick update just recieved the outer air intakes from Carbon Kid nice one mate there in great condition cant wait to get them fitted :thumbup

will get pics up as soon as there fitted might be a few days as im back at work :rant

All thats left to get now is the inner Air intakes might be able to get away with the one side as its not to badly damaged so one tiny part is left then i can send them off to the spray shop :doug

Its sooo close!!!

Time for another quick update

Spent the last couple of weeks collecting all the little niggly bits to complete the bike and i can safetly say im 98% complete just waiting to source 2 last parts, shouldnt take to long "touch wood"

Just like to say a quick thanks to Carbon Kid for sorting out all the last little bits that i was after Cheers Andy:thumbup

Ive got a nice build to crack on with at the weekend going to be a busy but exciting weekend:doug

All going well my day should go along the lines of

Draining Rads

Fitting Replacement levers

Fitting Remaining Indicator

Brake Pot

"Carbon Ears":inlove

then just a matter of wiring up the headlight and fitting all the fairing back together might be a bit of mix and match as far as the colour scheme goes but at least ill be able to take it out for a little blast :biggrin

Will get pics for you on Saturday
