Been having a huge organise of all my spares to what I want to keep and what to sell.

This is what I found that can be used on this bike,
So basically I can see this one also turning into a full build but it will definitely be used to get my other fairing painted.

Clutch lever
Image

Headlights (only got one rubber though)
Image

Sprocket cover with speedo drive and cable
Image

Coolant and vac pipes
Image

Set of low mileage clocks (UK model?)
Image

Ecu and Mmax box
Image

Horn
Image

Loom, this needs a right clean up!
Image

Throttle and grips
Image

Luggage hooks
Image

Clean up the rear brake res
Image

And the undertray (with new heat shielding)

Got the loom cleaned and retaped. Now all routed on the bike
RegRec and rear coil tested and mounted too.

Bought a master cylinder rebuild kit a while ago for a brake that just needed bleeding properly.
Put it to good use today.

Sick of looking at that shock cover so I picked this up

The spring was quite chipped so I changed it for one I had already.

Image

Fitted. Also changed the wheels from my other bike.

Image
Image

Blasted the rear caliper.

Image

Painted, with new rubbers, seals and pistons.

Dug out the switchgear from my spares that had the wiring hacked and picked a scuffed one for a cheap price.

This bike also got a bit of loving

The undertray was finished off with the fitting of the ecu, indicators and number plate.
Image

and only a little thing but I fitted the rear brake master cylinder and reservoir
Image

I was also busy making a lockset for it. Rather than buy a cheap knock off set, I took apart a barrel and with more than a few spares adapted it to fit the key (which fits the tank and pillion seat).
