*yesterday*
Checked valve clearances (on the tight end of spec, but will be fine until next winter), checked cam chain tension which still haven't needed adjusting in 20k miles.
New spark plugs, cleaned carbs and replaced the broken choke nuts with ally nuts, new air filter.
Today's to do list:
Replace rear brake disc, finish making the seat pad, fit the HRC rear brake reservoir kit.

It looks like the axe murderer eyes of Jonesy. Could be wrong though

I'm just happy it wasn't broken.Good luck to whoever bought it.At least it's getting ridden now. Like I did.Time to move it on.

I finally adjusted the front end so that the top yoke is square and the clipons are equal both sides.
And wiped it over with an oily rag I found under the workbench.
I bought a Mucoff jet washer during lockdown, but then there was a hosepipe ban, so it's the first time it's been used. Not bad for the price.

It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

While waiting for new carb boots to be delivered, I decided to do damage control from the evil scottoiler that the previous owner had on the bike. I only meant to clean the chain guard, whipped it off to find about 4mm of oil caked on the underside. Cleaned that all off then I could see all of the gunk on the rear of the engine from the same evil scottoiler! Got all that off, then cleaned the rear sprocket, chain and left side of the wheel. It turns out my sprocket and chain are silver and not black . Still lots of gunk to clean but I made a good start!

Lovely
Looks like the shiny bits have been well protected by the gunky stuff!

Heard a load of moaning and groaning coming from a nearby shed, to my horror Mac and Jonesey were going at it hammer and tongs!
I generally got in the way and caused distractions, so left them to it. The Storm is coming along a treat though
