that was a fast service from roger again .that first ride will be an eye opener

he seems a great bloke, iam so looking forward to getting them back and painting them, there pretty good but may as well do them now there off, Iam gonna clean up the WP shock spring and collars etc then get it fitted. I checked all the exhaust bolts and copper slipped them up.

I may even take a day off to get it all back together. I will go careful first ride. I hoping it will make a big difference.

Fitted the Moriwaki full system

Got slight clearance issues with the swingarm brace, but I've got a couple of ideas to sort it.

Those are bloody lovely Jamie, hope you fix the clearance, but if you can't I will take them off you

Looking lovely there J.
ifyou have some spare time, head up to mine to put it back together please: rear shock out, just need to clean up the new one before reinstalling, be as well to take the arm of whilst im there.
Just deciding what bars to put on before the cbr end goes in. new chain and sprockets to order.
anything else i should be doing with it in bits?
by the way who was it again that did the brake hoses with the swivel banjos?

I think Venhill was the company decided on in the other thread

Stripped down the WP shock,cleaned up and painted the adj rings, clean up the spring and bottom retainer plate. Stripped the brakes on the front, sadly haven't had the forks back yet from Roger but lots to do still.

Looks good Jamie where's the pic of the full system, headers included.

Well today I put the rear end of my bike back together with recently serviced calliper and new pads. Just got to investigate why the brake light switch is not working. I wanted to do this before filling with fluid and bleeding, but then realised as a pressure switch it will need pressure for me to test for continuity. I shall bleed the brakes tomorrow now as it's dusk.

The two little brake reservoir bolts have rusted bad winter is really taking it toll. This is a Honda not a Suzuki, why are all the nuts and bolts getting so bad I can see over time I'm going to want to change all the nuts and bolts to Stainless or Ti which may work out a bit expensive. Maybe this why they rust..... as Honda where on a budget.

looks fantastic jamoi....
always liked the black on black look
