I finally got round to drilling out the seized bolt in the swing-arm so I can now tap it and fit the hugger. Also put my discs on the six-spoke front and had the tyres swapped over. New p-clips for the new braided hoses on the front and new screen (Powerbronze DB) on the fairing, new front sprocket on - seemed to get a lot done today albeit they were lots of easy jobs.

Now where's the corkscrew? :beer: :beer:
I'm so unlucky that if there is such a thing as re-incarnation I'll come back as me!

It's in Laguna Seca.

I stuck some velcro on the new(ish) carbon fibre dash, so I could attach the clock and frost warning display.
And ordered the headstock gimbal mount for the waterproof phone/satnav.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Re-assembled Suspension linkage.
Pressed new needle roller bearing, attached chain runner, fitted Swing Arm, Installed rear wheel and refitted brake.
Fitted taper roller head race, re-fitted yokes forks front wheel and brakes.
Unhooked strapping from roof beam and removed wood blocking and jack.
Nothing is torqued up yet as I am still fumbling around with my first VTR re-assembly and I'm bound to have missed something and it'll all probably have to come off again so I can put things right. :confused

Nice day in the garage listening to radio four.
