Almost There

After three months beavering away in the garage this is the result
This is her as I bought her.
Jobs done
Manual CCT's ( just as well because the front one had rusted solid)
Changed the plugs ( the front one had never been changed by the look of it)
Handle bar conversion to Renthal bars.
Colour codes brake lines
Repaired the fairing and mudguard and done the respray
Rear led lamp
All new indicators
Fitted a blue angel eye into the headlamp (had to buy a scecond hand one to practice on just incase, it was a bugger to remove the glass but once you get past the sealant by warming it up with a hairdryer it wasnt too bad.)
Fitted blue side light and front and rear led's
Fitted a gear indicator, this was a tricky a fiddly job, having to fashion a bracket and base plate to accommodate the sensors, at times it felt that my fingers were sausages.
Fitted new screen
Fitted new mirrors this built in indicators with mirror extenders and also buzzers i have a terrible habit of leaving them on.
Finally i had a seat made to match the bike by Else Upholstery.
I have some ideas for a few more mods in the winter but for now that will do.
This was my first even bike build or mod however you want to say it, i thoroughly enjoyed it and will do it again, next one will be bringing a bike back from the dead, with this one I wanted to ride it all the time so I had to plan my jobs and the time so I was always leaving the bike ridable after each job .
Here she is now.
