Thanks David, It is a shame im selling, because i love the bike, but i just don't ride it, and most likely won't ride it once all this is done.
Ah nice, not far away then, will need to give it a good few test runs, once the carbs are back on. Probably will end up taking it up to Whiteways a few times, might see you up there!!
My other bikes are a zx6r, a zzr1100 which needs gearbox work/ engine strip , before the Iom TT ha, and am hoping to start a custom build cafe racer type jobby. Oh and also working on my brother in laws first bike which needs fair bit of work ha..
Will post more updates as I go along. Didn't manage to get much done this weekend unfortunately. Thanks, squeezyphil

Here are some pics of me having stripped back the lower fork yoke and after a splash of paint,
*note, that is masking tape inside the yoke holes where the forks sit. I didn't spray the insides haha

[squeezyphil]

the masking, to prove it ha

[squeezyphil]

I cleaned up/polished and painted the oil cooler lines too.. this and the lower fork yoke is pretty much all i got done this weekend

Hi squeezyphil and welcome back to the group, yes the old one got deleted due to old software issues that didn't match up to up to date stuff
Anyway the resto looks to be coming on well and hoping that when its done that you have a change of mind and decide to keep it
If not then someone is going to get a cracking bike with low mileage
Keep the pics coming !
