My On going project
Bought the bike in feb 07, the bike itself was in good but dirty condition, and bodywork had room for improvement. It had a full micron system with an open can and a datatool veto (fit and regret for sure). it had just had:
New Camshafts
New rockers
Shims
Generator re-wind
Carb rebuild
Piston rings
Cam chain
New battery
Unfortuanately the gearbox and clutch where worse for ware
By march 07 I had bought a replacement engine from a H model. This engine had just had :
Head gasket
Shims
Clutch rebuild
CCT
Cam chain
So far (23/03/07) I have polished half of the frame (down to the welds), and tonight I have bolted in the new engine.

Tonight I got it running toward the end of the night (spent the day workin on my CR).
so far the list of done things:
Rearsets
rear brake pressure switch conversion
New engine
silicone rubber HT leads
Modified wiring loom
Semi polished frame
Stainless bolts all round the fairings and lots of missing bolts replaced. Every bolt re-oiled
Removed that bloody alarm

they are the £99 ACU approved jobbies from ebay. The quality isn't fantastic to be honest. They get delivered straight off the mill, full of swarf and machine oil. The milling quality is poor with some 'dinks' in the surface and some quite sharp areas. The bushes are crap and I doubt they will last as long as a bronze equivalant. Also the holes for the mouting bolts are recessed with diameter 10mm yet no M8 bolt with a 10mm head is easily available, so the standard M8 cap head looks silly in the hole.
The gear linkage rod is also in need of extra washers to space it out or the lever hits it on downshifts.
All in all not alot of work to put right, but for £100 it would be nice if they cleaned off the swarf.
By the way, I have a box of things ready for black powder coat, should I have the rearset done satin black, i think it would look nice, what you rekon?
