Welcome Back!
It looks like you have got well stuck in there. Good luck with the rebuild, and don't forget to scrape the powder coating back to the metal for the rectifier earth and or any other earth connections you end up painting

Thank you.

I hadn't even considered earth and the reg/rec dissipating it's heat, well pointed out, thanks.

Welcome back Eclectic
Good to hear from you again, although sorry to hear about what had happened.

It looks like you are making good progress there with your old bike

Keep up the good work,

Chris.

Fixed Marty

MOT day today, no problems but the chap in front of me also had a Storm with few electrical niggles which luckily he managed to sort out there and then.

Also fitted my bar risers, with one tiny niggle, ill pop that on the relevant thread.

Ragged it around Donington and when I got back a little present was waiting for me.

Lol. I was worried beforehand but it's not as scary as I thought.

Don't know what's going in with the image. Dropbox obviously doesn't like any Yoshi porn.

Got her MOT'd

Fist day working on her yesterday.

Installed alarm and GPS speed camera alert unit off my old bike.
Replaced broken LH footpeg (new pair)
Secured tail light- still plenty of play to reduce vibration tombulbs.
Fixed/replaced numerous bad connectotors and cleaned up all contacts in connector blocks.
Refitted seat cowl a little snugger- still needs repair to rear mount where plastic has broken off.
Secured rh can hanger.
Removed horrid rusty flame cut exhaust heat shields. Had to tap out 8mm threads in the holes that were left and screw in stainless Allen bolts to fill.
Replaced cable ties in the brake hose p-clips with stainless m6 bolts.
Freed up seized disc bobbins to see if I can improve situation with front discs- they are better but still not turning freely with my fingers..

In addition ordered a new heavy chain and lock, GPS tracker, LED stop tail bulbs as both tails have gone anyway,
New tyres, centre/paddock stand.

Tons to do still, next things are:
Sort those bobbins out,
Rear brake calliper service.
Headstock bearings
Forks (terrible at present) probably will send to roger..
