Talking about under paint. Your bike is like mine, I can see bits of Red creeping through Filler cap looks nice and shiny.

Today I removed the VFR bars, I didn't like the way it felt so put the originals back on after spraying them Black. I may look into buying some nice expensive (£100) bars in the future but for now I'm content with the OM ones.

Yep the tank was replaced after a rhs slid some time in its life and painted standard black :-( not the metallic that it should be .

today i wanted to tighten the cam chain slack a few mm as its started to make a little noise now no biggie just pisses me off

who ever did the timing gen cover on this engine was a total b8stard!!

this took 3 hours of graft to get out, cover is fine and so is the thread in the cover tried all sorts to get it out but got there in the end.

Does any one have a part number for the rubber gasket?

Mostly I've been finishing my CCT Stopper mods So now I'm safe from sudden and catastrophic failure.
Quick 50 mile test and all was well. Some pictures below of me and my toy...I took the opportunity to clean the insides when the tank was off...I like clean insides, make the bike run better:


This (below) would have been a good picture if the Richard on the bike had put his coat and bag somewhere else

You can never polish too much


My CCT stopper - made from the shank of an M8 steel bolt...

This is how the plug came out...

That is outrageous. At least you can put your nice Titanium replacements in now.

Mr J very nice quality pictures and that is one spotlessly clean engine. Most impressive. but you don't look anything like you avatar.

Ah, yes, that's now...but back in the day...

Also I'm BBC - bald by choice. Makes for a tighter fit on your helmet. I like a tight fit, me.

My head

Yer yer

Today I have been busy finally getting my new freshly painted engine in the Fazer.

This is the frame painted and protected ready for the lump to go in.


And the engine. Clutch, generator and sprocket covers are getting sprayed in a matte finish as I go along.




Back in frame, generator and sprocket now sprayed


I have yet to do the clutch



Feel like I achieved quite a bit today. All went smooth apart from one mystery hose I can't find. I had the plugs out and the colour on them is good with no signs of oil, so a good sign as I have not heard the engine running yet.

good work and a productive day

An inline four on these hallowed pages, how very dare you, you absolute bounder you!!!
Boy done good there fella, well done.
