Can't you just cut along the length of the shrink wrap and retro fit it? [emoji2957]

Figured I'd update this thread, as the bike has just undergone another round of renovation! I bought my bike back a couple of years ago, after Grumpyfrog looked after it for a wee while [emoji6] Since the last post here I have done the following bits: Clutch plates Brake pads All fluids Filters Spar...

I'll be putting my front end back on (with brace) in the next couple of months, I'll also be following your guide Hawk [emoji106] I know it doesn't help if you need pics sooner, but I can take photos as I go?

Here's that part number anyway: https:/...

It's alright I guess [emoji6]

Lovely [emoji846]

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

Oh god MY EYES!!!! [emoji1][emoji1][emoji1]

*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: Repl...

Although, disappointed with the lack of bins in the pics.

Lovely bike and it has gone to a very good home [emoji106]
