made a quick mock up this morning...

Image

all the fairing is now at the body shop, and predicted to take around six weeks, which gives me more than enough time to finish sorting the bike out underneath

this week shes undergone some surgery. i don't have access to a ramp, and I cant put the bike on stands without any yokes on it, so I just paid a garage to strip it for me...
Image

wheels and yokes off
Image

Image

forks off and Looking fairly rough
Image

the front disks; the (I'm guessing ceramic) coating has wore off the braking surface in places of the rh disk, making it prone to rust. that said I tried to tidy them up the best I can, seeing as they will be going back onto fresh wheels but I think I may give into the urge of buying new disks
Image

Image

I didnt want to spend more money on an un necessary fork rebuild so i decided to paint them myself to save time and dosh... sanded, prepped and primed:
Image

not too happy with how these turned out but at least theyre an improvement on before
Image

removing the race would of been problematic if I wanted to reuse it so I had the crown shotblasted and set about painting it myself along with the fork legs
Image
the forks in paint with new bolts fitted
Image

Image

top yokes i had powdercoated then I sanded the badge with wet and dry
Image

Image
ive bought a BT092 for the rear, I'm sure people would tell me that two BT090s would be best but I wouldn't notice any difference in the handling and the 092 was £30 cheaper. it's having a matching tyre put on the front down at protyre

and the wheels have also been powdercoated...

the bike is back together, and since the last update the calipers have also been painted to match the forks. its now rolling on new BT92's front and rear and ive fitted a matching overflow pipe on the top rad since the original split.... shes almost done, and so far im very pleased :D

Bike looks great - it's a credit to you. You must be very pleased with it.

How fiddly was it to sand the Honda logo on the powdercoated top yoke. I'm going to have to try the same thing myself soon. Did you use a dremel? how did you mask the area?

Hi mate, thanks and yes im really happy with it so far

The yoke was shot and powdercoated with the badge removed... I gave the badge a quick rub down with some wet and dry, then polished it. It'll just flick out with a small flat screw driver, and you can glue it back in afterwards

Work on the honda had ground to a holt for a while, the bodywork has been at the paint shop for quite some time, and this project sat on the back burner while i got on with other things

but today i got around to getting some pictures together :D

heres a before picture of the bodywork for comparison
Image

and after....
Image
to be honest i did want the black bits to be painted blue like the original scheme, but they ended up black at the paintsprayer's error. but i actually much prefer the black so i reckon thats fine :D

ive had some new graphics printed
Image

and i did some online shopping for other bits 8o)

i took a punt on this sprocket carrier for 15 quid on ebay, because it looked like it had an (extremely dirty) renthal sprocket attached....
