Ok so the bike looks like this now (cheers to DrunknMunky for glossing them) with all the bodywork on properly. And it's TT style screen and quick fill fuel cap.

I have a full set of TT Legends graphics and a couple of nc30 ones.

Was going to do a bit of a mix between these. Any opinions? I struggling a tad, don't know what to do

I went for a similar retro DIY colour scheme on my own track bike

So after nearly getting the bike done the calipers and right fork leg have decided to start leaking.

New seal set from Harrison Billet arrived
New fork seal set from David Silver arrived
And using this as an excuse a fork upgrade kit from Rick Oliver (many thanks for the swift delivery Rick) has now arrived too.

Hopefully be getting into the garage saturday to crack on with it all

So today was a fairly productive day, and a busy one so I didn't manage to get many pictures.

The forks were taken off, seals replaced along with the springs, spacers and fluid. Then everything remounted.
Here's the old bits that came out.

The rear brake is now all bled up.

The issue came to the Billet calipers, they came apart ok but on assembly the pistons seem to be pinching the new seals. Not a happy bunny. Harrison being closed on Saturdays, so no tech advice available. To be continued.
