Pulled 4 of them right out of the Cave, moved 2 others to get to some stuff...

Checked a couple of bits, did some stuff & started Custard for the first time since riding home from the off on 26th June... Took a while but the old clonker fired up a settled to a nice smooth tick over... Did find that yet another tail fairing has an issue... this one (3rd) has broken at the front right fixing point...Might be able to Magyver something up to fix it...another job for another day...

Was gonna sort the rear brake pedal out but the swingarm spindle is bolt head on righthand side so that needs to come right out to get the rearset off... Easy fix I'll just slide a spare spindle through...thats the easy part... getting it up on a padockstand is the hard bit at the mo... :lol: :lol:

Started fabricating rear set brackets, so I can get a nice SP angle with the new exhaust.

Also starting to prep for Friday and the Wales trip. Put grip tape on the tank of the CBF.

Actually got me hands greasy today !

Took the forks off Blonky & fitted a spare set on...

Sold the ones off Blonky hence the swap...

Sounds :crazy: But the ones fitted were in better shape...

Fitted the slightly not legal number plate back on after the mot, gave her a weekly check over and then being as it was such a beautiful day, ragged it round Hereford and Worcester shire for 3 hours, nicely scrubbing the New back tyre in👍😃😎
After a while, I could here a noise coming from the drive chain, and remembering the guy who did the mot last week had adjusted the chain obviously after refitting the wheel after the tyre change😒, it didn't put me off, readjusted and waxed the chain on return 😊
