Well, Finally getting round to doing this. Bought the bike cheap back in October, but it needed alot of work. Done so Far :- Full Motad Stainless System Fork Seals Wheel Bearings Full Service New Plugs K&N Full set of Chinese Fairings (not the Greatest) New Seat (97-98 model) New front Bracket New Headlight (F3) New Rear Light (97-98) New Rear light/ Plate Breacket ( 97/98) LED Indicators Good Clean Up New Mirrors Tyres Braided Lines Front/Back To Do :- Head Set Bearing New Engine Covers Crash Bungs Sandblast and powder coat new Swing arm Source and have Genuine Panels Sprayed as fit of chinese is not bad but i have OCD Fork legs and yokes aqua blasted and painted. Wheels Powder coated. F3 grab handle and pillion Pegs Aqua blasted and fitted Tank Sprayed Dyno Jet Well its been Emotional. all the work so far and problem after problem. First off time waiting for parts, then me being abit heavy handed and snapping the bolt nipple bit on my yokes, Some tool had rounded the bolts in bottom of fork legs so had a job getting them out to do the fork seals, then the old exhaust was a pain to get off ended up chiselling the bolts out and replacing the studs. along with 20 years of wear on every other bolt meant i ended up replacing most of the bolts i removed. The company who i got the Mirrors off sent me 2 Left rather than a left and right, still awaiting a fuse cover and new right panel off the Chinese company as fuse cover was missing and the right panel was damaged along with the back piece, so will hopefully come soon enough. I tripped over the jack whilst taking it off the bike ramp bike fell over, luckily no damage, then when we are all good to go (minus fairings) bike would not start, went right over all the wiring contact cleaned and re greased all the plugs, then found a burnt out wire, chopped and soldered, and after abit of turning over she started met with a big smile by me......next day morning of MOT wouldn't start my mate took something off and give it a clean and luckily that solved the problem. Took it for MOT and it Failed!!!! said he didnt want to put it through with no fairings because of sharp edges could be dangerous to pedestrians, my initial thought was how do street-fighters pass an MOT then, but couldn't be bothered arguing, passed with flying colours other than that. fairings came the next week so stuck them on took it back, and he passed it. Been on the road about a month now, starts first time every time, rides well, not had any more problems lets hope it stays that way as the project continues....... When I got her... Few from while was working on her Now
