Thumbs ST

Not had much time to do anything on the ST due to work. Got quit a bit done today.
First job was removing the awful head light cowl
Image
found a nice round headlight underneath
Image
Removed clocks and sprayed black, fitted new fatbars and clamps
Image
Removed headlight and found loads of dodgy connections, so spent some time soldering and shrink wrapping
before and after
Image
Image
Fitted some small led indicators,not wired yet.
Going to be replacing the original fuse box with a 4way blade fuse holder and remount in front of battery holder, had problems before with those glass fuses
Image
Left hand front caliper is seized on the 2 holder shaft bolts, few good taps with the rubber mallet knocked the caliper off the disc. The piston moves freely, so looks like both will be getting a full overhaul. Roll on next weekend
The devil made me do it !

Much better with the proper light on show. Coming along nicely, always something to do on them..
