So I'm in the 'cleaning and bolting stuff on' phase, and I've refreshed the front brake master cylinder with new seals, piston etc, but the remote reservoir looks really manky. I read somewhere on the interwebs that you can get rid of the yellowing by soaking them in bleach, and here it is after I d...

Updates may get a little sporadic over the next few weeks as I'm having to pack stuff for a house move, but things will still get done as I need the bike to be in one lump for the move... In the meantime, I popped over to see Keith at Nasty Paint in Birmingham to pick up my finished bodywork. Here's...

Funnily enough, that is exactly what I was looking for in the shed last night! If you could mate, that'd be greatly appreciated! ;-)

I'd painted the original cast Mr Turbo plenum a few years ago (ahem), and it was looking rather scruffy, so with the engine now all black, I decided that the plenum could go back to the original finish, so started cleaning it up http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/w481/MDMSF/Zed%20-%20the%20longest%...

And then I took the frame to Dave Dunlop at FastByMe turbo systems, so that he could do some welding which would be of far, far better quality and structural integrity than I will ever be able to manage... http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/w481/MDMSF/Zed%20-%20the%20longest%20project/20160808_1440...

Like I said earlier, to get some decent chain clearance I was going to have to notch the inside of the frame rails or give them a twatting with a big hammer. I chose the former, mainly because I didn't want to get too giddy with the hammer and end up breaking things. Again. I'd wrapped masking tape ...
