[xa-mont]

glad i wasn't involved in the wiring loom bit... i fucking hate wiring. what time you gonna be home tonight?

[wackyrider]

Put fluids in the bike today and fired her up. Guess I must have done something right cos she's running.

Still to do:
Chain
Wiring (lights)
Back brakes
Bodywork
Footpegs


If all goes well, might try to take her for a short spin on sunday arvo

[Destijl]

Its always great to see someone bring a bike back from the dead, good work

[xa-mont]

and didn't it sound good with no muffler on! :P though i'm sure after about 2 minutes of riding it around you would hate it.

[wackyrider]

Off for a test ride......

[Gitzy]

Full Bike photos please Jules?? whats on the cards for paint mate??

[wackyrider]

Just came back from a 2 hr spin and all seems good. Bike is almost all done. All thats left is to machine in up a sleeve as I am relocating the thermostat pick-up which used to be in front of the rad.

Gitzy - paint not as yet as can't afford it for now. maybe in a couple of months, we'll see

[wackyrider]

It's on the list Joe

[xa-mont]

[latheboy]

Id angle the number plate down a bit so you don't get a fine;)

Have you got any idea what you'll paint it?

Looks good frenchy

[wackyrider]

It already has been angled down....

As for paint, thinking of a dark purple or maybe even orange. Still thinking about it

[Gitzy]

Nooooooooooo purple is mine.. all mine.. although it would suit your frame and swinger more than mine Jules.. ignore my gay wheels..

[wackyrider]

What about the h/light Travis. You're being slack. If you're gonna do it, do it right:D

That does look good though :D

[xa-mont]

I like the black on the headlight now, it flows on from the frame.

[wackyrider]

New sprockets arrived today. Looks sweet. Gone 1 tooth down on the front and 1 up on the rear

http://www.asfphotos.com/upload/1291422704.jpg


Front one was a bastard to come off. Even with a breaker bar and someone holding the bike wasn't able to remove it. Ended up going back down to work to borrow the rattle gun. Came off in 2 secs then :D

[Fight_fan]

Vortex? Very nice dude!

[wackyrider]

Yeah mate. Vortex. They look great. going out for a spin now to test them

[wackyrider]

Been a while since an update.

Just trying out a design for a radiator guard. Hope to have it done next week. here is what I have designed for it. I'll be putting a mesh behind and it will be all in black.

In the meantime have stripped the bike down again and sent bodywork off for paint. Will hopefully get it back in a few weeks, so fingers crossed
