Swapped over the forks, front wheel & discs over on my winter hack....if I ever get a set of manual cct's I might get to ride it

You still not got any. I thought you bought some on eBay recently.

(:-})

Weather is beautiful here today, after a few very cold days we got 16 C so I dropped my job for the day and got the bike out for a couple hour run on back roads before the Friday commute hits.
Every time I ride it I feel 20 years younger

It was on gum tree Carl, some guy in dundee but was a messer and never responded after I thought we had done a deal for them

I think Mac has got hold of Bazza so should hopefully get some of his soon

Attacked it with a grinder...

Finished off the steering head bearings, working nicely now - also changed the seat lock and top yoke so I now have a single key (plus spare) for ignition, tank and seat - as Mr Honda intended, as opposed to the three different ones the bike came with!!

Tried slotting the frozen screw in the swingarm - no joy, just going to have to cut the head off and drill the sucker out.

Also tried taking off Air Cleaner - 3 decent screws, one chewed up horror I could not shift!

Well technically it wasn't just today but I have finished....or at least close as there are still some details to wrap up but here is how she looks today



So here is the list:
New DB wind screen
New fork seals
Rebuilt front calipers with new seals and pads
New front brake lines
CGR brake lever
New cup seal in clutch slave cylinder
Flo-commander

and time for a few more pics:


Finally got around to installing my rear sets
Of course the Akra full exhaust system

Here is the other side:



Which should be called the porn shot with Akrapovic, Gilles and Ohlins all in one pic.....

Now if I could only ride the bloody thing..... and yes the weather is still nice here

What make is that double bubble screen it looks like it should do a good job of getting the wind above your helmet.

Wish I had tissues handy before I looked at it

Nice work Hawk, looks awesome.

Bought a "dremel" and trimmed the fairing to how i want it to accommodate the new "cool n comfy" top yoke.
