I sanded down some bracketry and hammerited them up





Discs painted using bbq spray



new clocks were opened up and mileage adjusted to match the last recorded mot mileage



speedo converter fitted so I don't need to derestrict it or use an mph overlay

now time to remove exhuast.



surface rust only :)



Managed to snap a stud removing the rear exhaust manifold grrr.



ground it off, and will spot weld a bolt in place



wire wheeled up ready for vht paint



Spent about 2.5 hours with a wire wheel, amazed how well the exhaust came up, a bit of metal polish and et voila :D

headlights reaffixed to the clock bracket



Then began work on the forks.

Old springs were progressively wound ones and too soft for my lardass. Valving could be improved too

The pic is of the old spring



forks stripped, old oil (bleugh) removed and new spring's installed

Last job of the day was to install the new clipon tubes into the existing clamps with new bolts



Forks now in the yokes :)
