things are starting to move now finally, my shed is up not quite finished as im wainting on some more windows,
but ive got some where decent to work on it now




and the parts are starting to collect...


sp1 calipers just need a m/c ,a mate keeps telling me to go for a radial its just trying to find what ones work with these calipers
rc30 seat unit on order, spark plugs and the all new mk2 brake adaptor plates from rick
paint is bought for the fairings just awaiting on some platic repair kit and decals from brookey,
so plenty to keep me going,

bit more done this week, got the engine back togetherafter neally killing it from a silly mistake, new spark plugs has solved the backfire issue, ive fitted new fuel pipes and seems to be running spot on,

wheels and disks have been blasted and painted


the new style r.o adaptor plates and sp1 calipers


ses rearsets


520 renthal sprockets and tzubaki chain


and rc30 replica seat unit




slight fitting issue between the rear master cylinder and the seat unit, i think its because the ses spacers push the rear seets further out , im not sure if to get some spacers between the mc and rearsets to get the clearence or cut into the seat as when the seat is fixed with the allen bolts it pulls it right in and kinks the res hose.

Id space the MC back in and do a proper job of it. Your be binning the res hose in about 6 months anyway due to it turning a manky colour . Fine for race bikes where the fluid is changed regular but a PITA on road bikes

blimey its been over a year since i last updated, well the bike still aint finished, due to abit of bad luck and funds, one of my forks sprung a leak out the bottom where the allen key bolt is so i had to wait untill i could afford a under headstock padddock stand to fix it, any way id say im about 90 95% complete

things left to do are: replace rear shock ( also sprung a leak), rebuild rear brake m/c, try and stop my sp1 calipers seaping around the threads on the bleed nipples, new headlight bulb, repair lower fairing and paint complete fairing and tank, fit indicators number plate etc... soon

been a bit slack in updating the this thread but the build is coming along nicely, i had quite a few repairs todo to the lower fairings, broken tabs etc.. but plasti fix worked a treat.




next was preping the tank and fairings for paint, the tank had a nasty dent which had to be filled and reshaped. i spent alot time and effort taking photos and making templates so that the lines would go back in the exact place as original






4 hours to mask up a seat unit which i had todo again as some of the red leaked through on some of the tight corners






mistakes were made and some bits had to be redone but it all came out good in the end

ive still got to fit the lowers, the clear coat was still little to soft and i have some fairing bolts missing so ill update when i get some sorted.
this is how things are looking at the moment...

Wow so impressed with that paint job..assume not spray cans!!

nah not spray-cans, used spray gun, my dad use to do a bit of spraying back in his day so had the equipment.

Looks very nice. I tidied up your post and fixed all your broken image links.

thanks jim157, i did start to clean some of that up but got fed up with it, posting of pics is a bit different from when i last posted..
