Re: Little bit more progress....
She is a keeper. She does have some flaws however, such as not letting me "borrow" the front end off her Fireblade!
Re: Little bit more progress....
Forks back from being "Rogered"and front end put back together today. Nitron R1 shock on order. Chain and sprockets left to buy.
Seem to have misplaced (lost) the new cush rubbers, so unless they turn up will be buying more of them too!

Re: Little bit more progress....
What a difference a lick of paint does to fork lowers. Well done
If you don't try you never know if you can do it.
Re: Little bit more progress....
Luckily it's cheaper if its done far worse.
Rattle can, seven quid. Masking tape on the tyres and back on the bike 20 minutes later.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
Re: Little bit more progress....
hmmmm I had thought about doing that.
Ive a long list that keeps growing with things I want done.
I just need the spare cash to do it all.
My wheels are strangely shabby for a bike with less than 5000 miles on the clock !
Re: Little bit more progress....
Got the wheels painted at my work for free, so very pleased with that! Friend painted the forks for free too!
Helped balance out the expensive bits!
Also realised after I'd put it back together that I forgot the little fork seal protector things! Found them on the bench afterwards!
