Bird Strike...

Close encounter with 'Columba livia forma urbana'...Thats feral pigeon in English.

Today I have mainly been turning this...
Into this...
Remarkably for a bike with 120k on it, used all year round, the top engine bolt came out with just a bit of hammer action & some plus gas... No grinders were use in the deconstruction...A large braker bar & the mains uggadugga gun did see some action...

Just a few bits to do to finish it off, remove the clutch case, the front head & the reduction gear.

You've been busy Mac

Chris.

Ohh & the header studs/nuts came off as well without snapping... Theres someting to be said about covering your bike in oil & not cleaning it....Hahaha

Balanced the carbs then drained them as I won’t be using it again this year .
Noticed a fork seal is leaking so another job to do over winter .

I pi$$ed the entire street of today(again) running Dori up to temp you would think by now they would be used to it

i did get a blip to the petrol station on the LC and peggy to fill them up.

Nue red got put away for winter, drained the tank, drained the carbs, fresh oil n fitter, cleaned, adjusted & splurged the chain with chain lube, coverd the exhaust spouts, slipped a cover over it. Roll on April...

Washed Hamburg, did the chain, checked the oil & tyre pressuers.

you know you are bored when you spend 20mins cleaning the chain 20 mins il never get back . .

in proper news i started to pull the clocks of the LC to fit mph inners..

Probably, but I had more than one in stock... Well I thought I did...Apparently not.

CBR600F4i calipers rebuilt. New seals, pistons etc ready for fitting. The CBR m/c is already on the bike waiting. On some of the shots you can see where the machining was done to aid clearance at the fork leg mounting points.
