Finished painting the forks smooth black. Looks a lot better as they were very pitted when silver! Happy days.

Also booked in on Weds to get my Factory Pro 1.7 carb kit fitted & dynoed. Happy happy days.

Started to retro fit the sp1 oil cooler today .
I'm using cbr600fl 1990 oil lines as they have the correct fitting where it meets the oil cooler .
So I removed the fittings from some spare vtr oil lines

As the cbr oil lines are a lot longer than the vtr I can cut them down to size once fitted
Next up is to make a little hanging bracket for the oil cooler to bolt onto the frame
Watch this space !

It's all fitted now

Now time for a good clean and polish oh and new coolant !

What did you do about bracketry? I have an SP unit in the shed. I'll get some CBR lines, good tip - but will need to get someone to fab/weld some mounts....

It was a simple straight piece of Ali with 3 holes in .
As the sp cooler mounts sit one hole off to the right as you look at it . so only a ten minute job to cut and drill it . I will try to upload a pic of it later

Cheers mate!

Today...Well...this month the plans are to fit the rear penske shock and usd mille r forks and gubbins...

Rear sets are a right butt to find for these storms so may well go down the frame mod route!!

[agentpineapple]

going to fit these little beauty's today...



in fairness the pictures don't do them justice, i've also finished spraying my original bellypan and spare high level exhaust brackets....

[whitestorm pete]

they are super nice marty where did you get them?

[alternative_vtr]

Trying to get my little KH100 running properly, it leaks fuel out the Carb over flows and is hesitant at about quarter throttle. Just had the Carb to bits and cleaned it with carb ceaner and blew it through with an airline then adjusted tab on floats and reassembled it. I ran it and it ran great in the garage and no leaking fuel but the test will be to ride it trouble is its snowing and freezing cold so it will wait for a better day

got them from kev who got them from ebay, i'm not 100% on them tho, they're a little bit big for my scorpian oval cans, i've had to fit the backing rubbers to them to make them fit better, and this in turn takes away from the beautiful carboness of it all....
tbh they still look better than the s/s ones.
when it stops raining i'll post some pictures of them on the bike...
me and carl got some more work down on my second bike today, we swapped the bent front wheel and tyre for a straight wheel and tyre, sorted out the wiring to the rear brake light and fitted the aforementioned c/f hangers, but it was ferking freezing and i had to be a taxi driver for my nan, so we called it a day early, we didn't get a chance to fit carls spare lhs original rearset(carl forgot to bring his ratchet.... )
we also didn't get round to tinkering with the steering lock issue, or fit the original bikini bellypan, i just wish this weather would pick up its pissing me right off atm.....

I was just looking through some past pictures of ride outs with some work lads and got some dated 26th march 2012 (date taken)

That day it was 20c in Leyland last year, hard to believe its just over two weeks away!!

Also cant believe its nearly a year ago that ride.
