spot the diffrence
HI I've been a member now for three months, I have read and used many " how to do" write ups and I have got on with quietly modify my bike in the background the most daunting task being swopping the CCT over after I had built up enough courage I tackled the job a great write up thanks Carl I didn't stick to it that rigidly as there weren't enough tea brakes in it for me and 3 hours a little bit ambitious especially with the extra tea brakes and double checking everything. I have had a forum member who was kind enough to offer help and answer any of my questions by text I don't want to embarrass by mentioning his name but thanks anyway Steve.
So this is what I purchased
This is how it looks now
I purchased these two from Ebay my apologies to the Blue Brotherhood and re sprayed them well they are still blue
Now this one I took great pride in I found the cheapest seat cowl I could yep you got it
I tried rubbing it down but the wet and dry kept clogging up then I had an epiphany (it does happen occasionally ) Put it in the dishwasher would you adam and eve it came out a treat all the custard had washed off.
I
have
taken
a
photo
of
all
the
bits
that
came
off
but
if
you
are
feeling
nauseous
get
a
paper
bag
handy
This one may be to small to see so here they are the generator cover which was chewed up when I bought the bike I centre punched off and the chain tensioner screws the right hand side had seized no matter what I did I could not loosen it so drilled it out and re tapped aluminium and steel never a good mix
Constructive criticism welcome but banter expected !

It took a while for me to see the word "Teal" spelt out using the parts. Was sat for 2 days wondering "why the heck did he write "we love"...roger64 wrote:

If it ain't broken...f*ck about with it until it is.
