Chop block on a motorbike ?????

And I criticised Pigford for using preinsulated terminals :shock:


Quite right Chris :) When I'm PM I shall ban the sale of pre-insulated terminals as a major contribution to road safety :D They're a bloody menace :evil: .... as for choc blocks :roll:

hi mate

well no progress at the moment, so near too :(
As well as getting myself a new job (longer hours). My mum is very ill in hospital and she lives a fair distance from me, so I have been doing a lot of traveling to see her.

The only things I need are new front discs and tyres

I need to polish the lip on the rear wheel and paint both wheels
I also need to fabricate a chain guard and sort the steering lock out

I would like to change to the GSXR handle bar switches too, but that can wait.

I hope to get something done at the week end I,ll keep you posted

Hi Ztig,

Didn't mean to hassle, spend your time with your Mum, the bike can wait a while.

That looks like a 'Right Hansome Beasty'.

See you're still running the injection, still have it fitted to mine.... works a treat.

This is what it looks like now. I have just got to get some new front discs and fit the resisters to the indicators and it will be ready for the MOT.

Couple of little things also needed A small ball bearing for the passenger foot peg (the peg keeps falling down ) and a spring for the handle that keeps the seat on. Anyone got one ?

Next year I will be looking to get it a 'proper' spray job :)

Ztig, I have found a seat catch spring, it will be in the post first thing in the morning along with a ball bearing. Spring has a bit of surface rust, but I have found if you treat it with a bit of Kurust, you will get a nice blackish finish.
