If all goes swimmingly, it might come to Shakespeare-land.
Oil / filter - coolant - levers on the way.
Exciting stuff :). Iv had countless new (to me) bikes but I'm still like a kid at Christmas with every one.Quote:

Bodgit & Hope time. If I can do it on Saturday, maybe...just maybe.
Clutch bite-point now acceptable. Oil / filter changed.
Cream-crackered in this heat. What's in the frij ???
New front and MoT to book.
Been shopping this morning.
Rattle can mixed for me as no longer available.
About to embark upon my first ever fibreglass / filler / spray repair.
Good luck, remember the end result depends on the amount of prep work you put in before starting to spray, I found that out the hard way ;).Quote:

What? The whole bike? :confused:Quote:

More Henry Moore than Michaelangelo I'm afraid.
Not Tracey Emin?
Back together now, only 6 nuts / bolts left over.
New front and MoT on Thursday.
I always end up with nuts/bolts left over, Iv got a jar in the garage I put them in and after a thousand miles or so if nothing's fell of then I work on the theory that they can't be that important and throw them away. :)Quote:
