Everything but the new airfilter has arrived so I guess tomorrow it will be time to take a few bits off the bike

Been crazy busy today
Already had the rear wheel off and front sprocket and chain. Removed chain guide and cleaned all the crud off that area
Then took out the dust seals out of the rocket carrier and the wheel brake side
Then removed the rear bodywork and found some nightmare wiring - why can't people do it properly?????
Then decided to get the headers off !!!!!!! Carefully cut through the front nuts with dremel and then split them with a chisel - so all good. . Then tried to get the rear header disconnected from the pipe - nightmare !!!!! There wasn't a clam on it but the two parts were almost welded together!!!!
So now waiting for the replacement headers from mac then on I go
Then started to loosen off the suspension linkage bolts - some seem loose - others not so !!!!!
Lots to do

I'd be happy with just a pool, although it would need to be an indoor one
