NEV Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Picked this up the other week, needed a fair bit of a tickle up, loom was totally buggered, and it wouldn't start, and needed a couple of panels. This is how I got the bike I was going to go to town on it and strip it right down, then do a total rebuild, but my eldest daughters boyfriend has just done his CBT, and I said he can use it till he does his direct access. so basically I'm getting it tidied up so it's roadworthy, and through the MOT, I've pretty much got all the bits I needed such as panels, sprayed up tank, re-upholstered seat, a servo for the powervalve, and a few other bits and bobs. Managed to sort all the loom out, new Iridium spark plug, air filter, changed and re-jetted the carb, starts up and runs sweet now, and starting tomorrow I'll be getting it all put back together again. Seat recovered and shaped, plus a fancy cut out. More pics to come Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEV Posted November 16, 2012 Author Share Posted November 16, 2012 oh aye pics of the bike so far, am changing rad scoop panels, for new type ones . It's pretty much going to be a White version of the Black one, or as near as damn it. Some pics of where I am with it at the minute. Still a fair bit to do to it, decals need sorting, , resprayed sidestand needs swapping with the one thats on at the minute, and the rear indicators need fixing on, engine casings need spraying, banging the powervalve servo on, Acerbis neoprene fork socks to put on, get forks sprayed White and Green. Hoping to have it sorted for this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
