managed to get an hour or two on bike today, in between hossy visits....rear caliper all sorted and tickety boo, it actually works great now( was sh1t before)..also found the dribbling coolant pipe, a large one coming outta the back of the water pump under the carbs..tank off( what a bitch) airbox was coming along fine, apart from one dodgy bolt thats rounded grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr..so running outta time i had to refit everything...at least ive found the culprit

no i was sorting rear caliper( brake was shite from getting it, pedal went down to floor) so sorted that, cleaned piston, rebled and copper greased all pins, and refitted that damn clip...jobs a good un, then had a go at finding that coolant leak...found the bugger, large pipe coming from back of water pump towards left rad...right under carbs, so u cant get to the clip( probs loose)...so i removed tank( bandit ones easy lol)..realised i needed to remove airbox, but one screw is knackered, so had to refit all bits...will have another go when ive got plenty of time,( not for the next few weeks way things are going)
